[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am mid 30s and have 2 kids 3.5 years apart. Sometimes I can't remember exactly how things went with my first and have forgotten some things. I don't expect to remember much of anything more than a blur 30-40 years from now. [/quote]

I don't think that's surprising to not remember things 5-10 years later let alone 40 yrs later BUT the problem with these grandparents is that instead of saying - hmm I don't exactly remember, it's been a long time, what are your friends doing with their kids or what did kid's dr say - the grandmas will be all INSISTENT in their WRONG recollection. I mean in my family apparently no one EVER remembers their kid napping after age 1. You should hear how the grandmas/great aunts etc. talk about 3 yr olds who need a nap - to hear them tell it they're lazy bums who will never get off their asses or hold down a job because napping at age 3 shows how lazy, slow, and stupid they are . . . . And in reality it's because grandkid naps in the middle of the day, which are prioritized by their parents, disrupts the grandparents' vacation plans - they can't bully their kids to go out midafternoon when the parents are like nope we are headed back to the house bc this kid will be a bear if he doesn't sleep for an hour.[/quote]
