This is so very, very sad. I wonder how you will all feel some day when your kids are treating and saying the same things about you?

Well, we all have things we wonder about. For instance, at the moment, I'm wondering if you're intentionally or un-intentionally mean. But that's my burden in life for the next two seconds or so until I press "submit."

No.  I have just seen this situation played out too many time.  Thus, I worked to change my relationship with my own mother recognizing that is the "reality" that my kids will see as the way to treat their parents.  It really is that simple.

We all think  that we are such great parents and hopefully we are better parents than our parents were, but the reality is that our kids will find fault in the things that we do.  Times will change, parenting will change, expectations will change and they will indeed judge us.  I think it is better to model forgiveness and understanding than hatred and judgment.  [/quote]
