Did your grandparents seem different with you than they did with your parents?
I’ve been thinking about how differently two generations can remember the same person.
Sometimes parents describe their own parents as having been strict, impatient, or emotionally distant when they were younger. Meanwhile, their children remember those same people as warm, patient, relaxed, and understanding grandparents.
Of course, people change with age and experience, and being a grandparent is very different from raising your own children. Still, it can sometimes feel as though parents and grandchildren knew two slightly different versions of the same person.
Was that true in your family? Did your grandparents treat you differently from the way they had treated your parents? I hope this can start an interesting discussion.
