Opinionated Auntie
The good news is that you are aware of being opinionated. The bad news is that you believe you can’t stop...you can.Try to remember that loving your 2-year-old nephew calls for developing acceptance of parenting that are different than yours from his parents. He absorbs your feelings. Your deep love for him is much more valuable than you know. He will grow up more loving and accepting.The details of their behaviors are much less significant. They will be less committed to their ways and rules as you soften and ease your judgements and criticisms; I guarantee this. Try to recognize they, as all parents, have anxieties and cling to their beliefs in the face of your disapproval.I know this is difficult; but, as you change, you will see they will also.Good luck,Natalie Garfield
