I sure as heck hope they thank their parents. I can see all the work they have done and are still doing. The boy that is getting the National Merit Scholarship was home schooled by his Mom for 5 years. It certainly wasn’t my work.

Guidance belongs to the PARENTS, if they (parents) fail, then the grandparents, uncles, aunts put there foot in. But all over the world, except in Cuba/China, its the parents responsability to guide their children.

If their parents fall down on the job, I will re-evaluate. Right now things are going well. The first one will graduate college this year with high honors. The 2nd one will finish his second year of college with only 1 B and the rest A’s. The next 2 are graduating high school as valdictorians and both have scholarships to college. The boy scored 99% on both the ACT and SAT and is getting a National Merit Scholarship. He will study Chemistry in college. Their parents are doing the heavy lifting and I am enjoying being Grandma.

just hand your grandchildren the drugs they will want to be around you even more.how about understanding that it is elders job to guide ,and not be there friends?when they mature they will thank you for it.as for all these elders who want to be friends ,don’t be surprised if they never mature ,because you refused to guide them

Unwanted advice is most often ignored and it can cost a grandmother the good will of the young people. I want my grandchildren to want to be around me. The advice can be given by their parents.

If elders don’t pass on their wisdom how will the next generation learn.A life without guidence is a life set adrift in a storm.

dramaking, PW saw the results of his parents, lets hope he sees things differently than his Dad. I suspect that Charles has even warned him about the pitfalls of not being in love. I watched both the wedding to Diana and the blessing to Camillia. Charles’s demeanor was as different as daylight and dark. You could really tell which woman he loved. What makes you think Kate is in charge? Nothing I have seen says so and I try not to listen to gossip as it is notoriously wrong. We do not know what is going on behind closed doors. All we can do is hope and pray that they are making the correct choice. I personally don’t care either way. I am not a British subject and no matter what happens, it won’t affect my life. I am in my 70′s and this is from a lifetime of obervation. I wouldn’t presume to give them advice, I don’t even offer advice to my own grandchildren.

since princes don’t seem to believe in fedelity do you really think kate would stay married to him if he cheated ? no so why marry her if she is the one in charge?
