[quote=Anonymous]Are all grandparents telling you (parents) what do do about the kids' education, health care etc. Or is that just our parents?

Example: grandparent insists the child is very ill when she has a cold and wants us to go to the doctor and check for all sorts of possible ailments, even though we reassure that we know her and she is fine.

Or, grandparent insists the child apply for their second citizenship (which one of the parents has) because it will help them later in life. (we agree here, but it doesn't need to be done right at this moment, since kids are young and the process requires time which we just don't have at this very moment).

Is this normal grandparent/parent dynamic?

I am not necessarily annoyed that they are concerned, I know it's coming from a good place. But I am irritated because I feel that maybe there is an undertone of "we're still your parents, we know better, "  even though it's not quite presented that way.

It's ok if you think I am overreacting too. [/quote]
