I agree. DD is still young, but I know we will have to be assertive about the things that are said around our child. Sometimes I feel like I am correcting everything they say (we are raising DD Catholic, my parents think religion is stupid… we are progressive and liberal, my parents are more conservative… we are welcoming and open to all types of people, my parents think they are better than everyone).
But they love DD so much, I guess I just overlook everything else and hope that DD will look to us as her main source of guidance…
