So National Grandparent Day is coming up, and this is the perfect time to jump into so many questions that I hear from parents all the time.

What do I do when my parent criticizes me?

What do I do with all the feelings I have toward my parent about all the things I know now kids need and I didn't get?

How involved should my parents be?

Why am I still so desperate for my own parents' approval?

And from the grandparent end, I get questions. How can I be involved in my kid's life in a way that

actually feels good for the family? Why is my kid so activated when I make one tiny comment

about something I might do differently? How can I be very involved in my kid's life and my grandkid, but still respect the fact that I'm

getting older and maybe can't do the things I used to be able to do?

These are all the questions we're going to get into, and this is the most amazing episode

for both parents to listen to and grandparents to listen to, maybe even talk about.

Grandparents are more involved in their grandkids' lives than ever.

A recent survey showed that 60% of grandmothers have provided child care for a grandkid,

and 40% see a grandkid every week.

When we talk about raising kids, we cannot leave out the dynamic with grandparents

because it is so powerful in a kids' lives and it can have a lot of different impacts on

our life as well.

I'm Dr. Becky, and this is good inside. We'll be back right after

this. We'll start off with some questions from parents.

Hi, Dr. Becky. My mom was really tough on me growing up, but now she's so sweet to my kids.

I know I should be happy about that, but I feel kind of resentful. What do I do with that?

I just want to start by saying thank you for naming what so many parents feel.
