Dear Queenie,
My grandchildren behave beautifully when they are with me, but as soon as their parents show up the kids go wild.
Queenie, should I talk to my son and daughter-in-law about this?—Worried grandmother
Dear Grandmother,
I would advise against it. They will take it as criticism of their parenting skills. Apparently your grandchildren are learning proper behaviour somewhere – possibly from you? – if they behave well when they are with you, so continue to enjoy and encourage this kind of behaviour whenever you can.
