[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd tell her Grandma has her own issues and not to take anything that feels negative personally. [/quote] +1. As a kid, I was either given this type of information explicitly or deduced it. Knowing what I know about one of my grandmas today, from the perspective of adulthood, I actually have a better understanding of why she was the way she was (summary: she was a "parentified" oldest sibling who was a foster for half of her childhood). As a kid, I just thought she was kind of a grumpy downer compared to my friendly, loving, talented maternal grandmother (raised in an intact, loving, educated family). You need to walk a fine line between explaining and judging, and allowing whatever love there is in the relationship to be expressed.[/quote]
