[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Grandparents: for the most part, we love and appreciate them. However, it's probably fair to say most of us have received unsolicited parenting advice. So maybe here in this little corner of the Internet, we can fantasize about giving unsolicited Grandparenting advice.

Lifted from another thread:

Grandparents, take note: if a parent is within eyesight/earshot of the child, and is actively parenting them, you don't need to pile on with the instructions and corrections. I don't need my FIL barking "put that down!" When I have JUST said it. Kids don't need three adults telling them the same thing at the same time.

Grandparents:  We know you spend all day at home playing solitaire and bridge by yourself on the computer.  Is this how you want to live out your last days?  Would it kill you to make a reasonable effort with your youngest grandchildren?  You live five minutes away, and they are not going to be little forever, and you are not going to be around forever.  They are starting to form their own opinions of you, as they get older and wiser.  It is up to you (no one else) how you choose to be remembered.  We know you are antisocial and petulant, but really, stop being so selfish. [/quote]

Stop anging for free babysitting.  No need to see grandkids more than once or twice a year.  I raised my kids and you raise yours.[/quote]
