[quote=Anonymous]OP, just to give you a different perspective - I'm 35 years old and my mother STILL won't accept that her mom (my grandmother) is not a "milk and cookies" grandparent. My grandmother loves me in her own way, and I love her in return. I have very fond memories of the very few times they watched me at their home, even though for most of my childhood they also lived 30 minutes away. What was a harder burden for me to bear was my mom constantly overreacting and making passive aggressive comments about her parents. When I was older it tainted my view of them, for sure. As the child of two working parents who very much had their own lives and problems, I know my mom was hurting. I just wish she resolved her issues with them instead of projecting them on her own kids. Not to say you are doing the same, OP, but be aware as your kids get older they'll infer a lot from you.[/quote]
