[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP one thing to consider - and I'm not saying this is you, just pointing out a potential problem - is that some parents are so.freaking.controlling. about their kids that it's no fun to be around them. Can't feed them one drop of sugar, can't let them see ten minutes of TV, GOD FORBID they miss one minute of sleep time. Part of the fun of being a grandparent or aunt/uncle is the ability to spoil, and goof, and giggle, and forge an independent (mostly, of course not totally) relationship with the kid/s. Too many parents forget this, and make the relative feel as if everything they do is wrong, forbidden, and frowned upon, which will drive otherwise caring and interested relatives away. At some point, it can become too much work.

Again, not saying that's you, it may not be at all. Just offering the angle. Good luck to you.[/quote] Completely on point. This generation of patents are controlling, self-absorbed and suite frankly unpleasant to be around.[/quote]
