[quote=Anonymous]PP and there’s a sense of grandparent entitlement that this generation of grandparents has. I’ve spent 20+ years as a mom managing three grandparents’ expectations. My kids are young adults and a teen - DC are responsible for cultivating and maintaining relationships with their grandparents now. My own mom is the worst - overbearing and scorekeeping and laments that her grandchildren (some 1500 miles away) don’t visit as often and then when they do, she is bothered that they don’t spend 24/7 time with her (visiting friends, sleeping late, shopping, sightseeing…all recent complaints I had to hear). My grandparents were the opposite-they loved just having us visit. No expectations. They were always concerned we’d be bored at their quiet house - and it ended up being so relaxing and a respite.
