Mom and parenting influencer Paige Connell shared to Instagram Reels her friend's intergenerational frustration. While her friend tried to set rules and boundaries for interacting with her kids, the grandparents just simply don't respect them.
Connell explained, 'If you're a grandparent, you probably haven't been an active parent for 15 to 20 years. If I were to leave the workforce for 15 to 20 years, many things would change.'
Connell continued, 'We know more now. There's more information than ever. We parent differently because we've learned a lot in the last 15 to 20 years, and... Boomer grandparents are missing this.'
Though some may view it differently, Connell emphasizes that past parenting successes of grandparents don't negate the new insights and techniques available to modern parents.
