[quote=Anonymous]Op, you're going to have to let go of your control issues if you want to be a good grandma. Your daughter and son in law ARE going to do things differently than you. This is the problem I see with your post. Not that you don't like annoying kids, but that you are a self admitted overbearing control freak. My mom was the same way. She wasn't a good grandmother for the first 2 years of DS' life. She continued her controlling and overbearing way on me. She pointed out the things I should do differently. She tried to get me to parent just like her when I didn't at all. Her parenting style made my life miserable at times. I DID NOT want to be like her. I almost had to cut her out of our lives because of how she treated me and my family. She got therapy and loosened up. Now she's an awesome grandparent and much less controlling. So yeah OP. I don't think being annoyed by out of control kids is your problem. [/quote]
