[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't even think they sound clueless. They're just from a different generation, one in which the world didn't change to cater to children. Rather children learned to adapt.

[b]Your job is not to teach/raise your parents. Your job is to teach your children how to be in this world with different types of people. Teach them how to have conversations with people other than their friends. Teach them how to behave when they're bored. [/b]It's ridiculous that you're mad at your parents when your children are acting like brats.[/quote]

Says who?

[b]The brats here, with the info we have, are OP's parents[/b]. Everyone in the family, and especially the adults, need to use that thing called brain and find fun and meaningful things for all to try.[/quote]

Huh?  OP's husband spends his visits on the computer.  OP's children audibly complain about being bored.  OP thinks they are all totally justified in behaving this way.  [/quote]

OP.  I had three living grandparents growing up.  Two were simply not interested.  The other one was very quiet and didn't interact much.

Even if I were bored at the time I would love to have memories of cooking with my grandmother, and my grandfather reading to me (and yeah, kids need to learn to be bored.  Every time my parents had dinner with a friend that had no kids, I was bored.  I brought a book or watched TV or did SOMETHING.)

How is cooking for your parents cooking for a "crowd"?  Your mother cooked for you for years, FFS.

3rd and 5th graders should know better than to complain about being bored.  [/quote]
