[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've always thought the role of grandparents is entirely up to them and their personality. My parents spoil our kids and let them get away with murder. It makes them happy it makes our kids happy. Our kids don't get junk at home and can't make a fort and stay up all night for example - they get to at their grandparents. My parents are heavily involved. My DHs parents are different. His mom is very caring but motherly and will correct them (totally okay with me) his dad is standoffish and not very nurturing, just as he was with DH and his siblings. I never tried to force anything with any of the grandparents or shape it into an idea I had in my head. I find when you do that your expectations are rarely ever met - this can be applied to so many areas of life. This way our children get authentic relationships with each grandparent.[/quote] So wise, and so hard to do. I hear the posse coming . . .[/quote]
