An explanation. We went to visit our son and grandson at the weekend. We took my mother too. I think my son is an excellent father and his little boy who is 6 is a credit to him and his mum. My mum thinks he is allowed to get away with "smart chit-chat" in her words, allowed to stay up too late and was annoyed that he didn't have to clear every morsel of food off his plate. I think he's well mannered. He eats well so they don't insist on him clearing his plate and he was allowed to stay up later 'cos we were visiting. |

No I don't think it is up to the older generation to make critical comments on how the younger generation bring up their children, so many things and ideas have changed. I think it is inevitable that older people will comment on what they see as bad behaviour which reflects on young parents. But if we are talking about families I would hope the older generation would make it clear that they, while not wishing to interfere, are willing to give advice if needed. That is how it was done in our family. |

I think younger ones could learn so much from the older generation but they don't want to, when i have spoken to a group of 14-15 yr olds all you get is (thats so old fashion), i used to think that too now i am so envious of the older generation and would have loved to have been born 20 yrs older. |
