Hi, Carolyn: My mom tends to take every parenting decision I make as a critique of HER parenting, unless I do it exactly the same way she did it in the 1980s and ’90s. This is true even though I have repeatedly reminded her of all the ways in which my kids’ childhood differs from mine: different generation, different health concerns, different culture, different human beings. It results in her feelings being hurt constantly by things she should not be taking personally. Any suggestions?
