Talking With My Daughter - Explaining Why I Am Not A GREAT Grandma

Communicating with Grown Children - Communicating with Parents

Let's all agree. Unless you have a perfect relationship, asking for a favor from anybody is not easy. 

Then there is this: A One-On-One with an adult child or a parent includes emotional baggage.

Personally, talking seriously with my daughter is never easy.

Explaining why I have no desire to be a GREAT, and I mean wonderful, grandma requires a long, long, long explanation.

Bottom Line: try to take some time to explain your emotional history. Why are you the way you are? It will make matters much easier in the long run.
