The article discusses the stereotype of the difficult mother-in-law, contrasting it with a positive example from TikTok user Wendy Gimpel. She promotes a supportive approach to grandparenting, where grandparents help their children instead of imposing their past parenting methods. Gimpel emphasizes that grandparents should allow their children to parent in their own way and refrain from giving unsolicited advice, highlighting the importance of love, support, and flexibility in family dynamics to foster better relationships.
"Nobody cares how you did it. His wife gets to do [it] the way she wants to do it... but because I did it a certain way doesn't mean you need to do it a certain way."
"Our job as grandparents, in my opinion, is to help our kids be the best parents they can be. We already did this. We had our chance."
