In order for grandchildren to be surrounded by true family happiness, there are several tips that grandparents should take on board.
Suggest names of children
Choice name - This is an important task for parents, and listening to all the variants of names from others is not an easy task. Few people want to know how you were teased as a child or that a granddaughter should be named after a very distant relative.
Buying expensive gifts without consulting your parents
Grandparents should not buy expensive gifts without the knowledge and consent of parents!
Expect to be present at childbirth
Only the mother decides whether to invite them to the delivery room or not. There should be no persuasion or pressure on this issue.
Do not inform parents
Not knowing where the child is and with whom is the worst thing for a parent. And although grandparents need to be trusted, parents should always know and be aware of everything that happens to the child.

Telling the secrets of youthful parents
Yes, teenage adventures are great fun for the audience, but it is better to remain silent and not reveal stories until the moment when they grow up.
Ignore established dietary rules for children
If the parents say that the child should be limited in sugar and something else, the grandparents should obey. Diet can not be broken!
Advise mother to work or stay at home
Modern mothers do not tend to sit for a long time in decree. Grandparents should allow their daughter to make the decision to resume her career.
