[quote=Anonymous]One thing that I think all parents struggle with. Grandparents will often say things that aren’t really consistent with how we want to raise our kids. It’s triggering for us because it reminds of us the things we disliked about our own relationship with them. But kids experience this stuff totally different from grndparents than they do their parents. It just doesn’t affect them as much. So if a mom said “you need to watch what you eat” to a daughter it might be really devastating, but if a grandmother said the same thing, it might only be a minor irritant or it might be a laugh-it-off grandma is so old kind of thing. So it’s highly unlikely that your dads comments affect your son as much as his comments affected you.[/quote]
