[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's ok for OP to be sad that her mom [b]is a disappointing grandm[/b]a. She wanted more for her kids and she's not going to get it. It's a loss. Mourn it and move on. Find a way to be ok with what your mom is giving and don't expect more. Take notes and be different for your kids.[/quote] No! OP is judging! OP has her own expectations of what she thinks a grandma is supposed to be doing and projecting those expectations onto your mother. That's not fair. [/quote] It is not unfair to have hopes and dreams for the kind of grandparent your kids will experience. It is normal. If her mom isn't meeting those expectations, she needs to accept reality, mourn the loss and move on. [/quote]
