[quote=Anonymous]My mom praises me all the time, even though I parent quite a bit differently than she did. I actually think it's why she praises me. Then again, she parented tremendously differently from her own parents. She was a very good mom, and overcame some terrible parenting on the part of my poor, overstressed grandparents, who became parents in their teens. However (d/t fear of poverty), she worked 90 hours per week-- and I SAH/WAH. Plus, as noted earlier, I think some is also that I parent somewhat from research/books, as did she. And she's a scientist and can appreciate how conventional wisdom changes and new research uncovers better methods, blah blah blah. I think it makes her feel a little insecure at times, but not really defensive-- not as many people describe or I've witnessed among other grandmothers.[/quote]
