Do you think the strength of your relationship with your parents is directly linked to the strength of their relationship with your children?

Question

Basically asking, if you have a great relationship with your parents do your parents have a great relationship with your kids? Conversely, if you have a crappy relationship with your parents, do they have a crappy relationship with your kids?

Answer

No I have a rocky relationship with my mother but she’s got a great relationship with my son. We didn’t talk before he was born and since he’s been here she’s over all the time

Answer

Both ways can be positive - great relationship with parents makes you want that with your children, bad relationship with your parents can make you want a great relationship with your children so they don’t feel how you did growing up.

Answer

So far this is proving 100% true for me.   I'm close with my parents and they are always coming to see or asking for pictures of my daughter.  My MIL texts my husband when she's bored or needs someone to make her feel validated, much in the same way she did while her parents were raising him so that she could party, and she hasn't bothered to see her first and only grandchild for three months.   🤷
