I guess a lot of you grew up with warm fuzzy grandmas. I didn't. We are honest with our kids. We don't want them to end up in relationships where they are easily manipulated.[/quote]
[b]What? Why is warm fuzzy grandma not honest? You sound seriously messed up. Normal grandparents do not manipulate their own grandkids.[/b][/quote]

You are not reading or not understanding the post to which you replied.

Poster is stating others may have warm fuzzy grandmother for their kids, but her kids are not getting that relationship. She is honest with her kids that grandmother has some mild mental health/antisocial issues.  Letting the kid know it is not the kids' fault, it is grandmother's issues.  Setting groundwork for interactions that won't allow grandmother to emotionally manipulate them. This sets standards for what the kids should expect in their own relationships.  Just because someone is family or claims to love/care for you, doesn't excuse poor behavior.[/quote]
