[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some grandparents post way too much on social media. I know quite a few that do, and have to be reigned in by their kids.

To me, this sounds like an over sharing grandparent issue.[/quote]

The grandparents aren’t even on social media. I think there’s some bizarre aversion to anyone having a picture…as if the grandparents might show it to someone in person or perhaps text (but there’s no risk of social media since they don’t use it).

And who doesn’t share the name with the grandparents once the baby has arrived??? The couple has named the baby. There’s no religious reason for keeping it secret. Apparently they want to do some big reveal. Okay…but why not tell your parents the name first?

This is very weird behavior. Nobody will ever convince me otherwise.

I think it’s emblematic of Americans not valuing family. I doubt this happens in other cultures absent strained relationships. Heck, other cultures seem to navigate strained relationships far better than we do in the US since they prioritize family. [/quote]

Totally agree with you! I don't want to hear about these people complaining that they don't have help from family later on! This is not the way to build family relationships.[/quote]
