Let me start by saying ,we still need you and value your advice. It might seem we are too busy in our new found parenthood but we always will need you.
Now let me get to the tricky part!We may differ in our opinion about bringing up children. That does not mean we think that your way is the wrong way. It is just that things are different from what it was when you were raising us. There are times we may snap at you . Trust me it has nothing to do with you (well most of the times atleast! There are very few times....very few times when it might just have been ) . We are just trying to fit in the "super parent " image of today and trust me the world has changed a good 180 degrees in the last 30 years.
The rights and wrongs of your times have changed and maybe you could not keep in touch because you were busy raising us till the day we had our own. Yes, I agree in your eyes we are still your little ones who always needed you and we will always need you but sometimes it is ok to sit behind and relax with your grandchild. You are not responsible for raising good grandchildren that's our job. Your's is to pamper and spoil them. You have done a good job in raising us. Trust us in raising our little ones well.
