I just had a kid of my own and I’m finding some feelings of resentment towards mom.

Like, there were some times where I didn’t receive the supervision I needed, or where I wasn’t taught certain life skills (because she was so busy with my siblings) and I just can’t imagine letting that happen with my baby.

Did you ever feel this way towards your parents when you had me? If so, how did you deal with it?

Thanks Pop.

    My boomer parents were dropping me and my siblings off at Grandma and Grandpa’s house all the time so they could go do adult stuff.

    Now when I had my own child, they were off traveling so much that they have been unavailable to help at all. That lets me feeling bitter at first, but for the most part they aren’t going to know my children as well, which is on them.
