Being honest and upfront is also important for adult children to relate to their parents.
Don’t keep them guessing about whether or not you want to spend time or special occasions with them.
Give them direct answers.

@marieball1772

Also, The parent side of that is they do not always like to be reminded of every mistake that they made when their children were growing up.
This is very common in families

Maybe you could list the 5 hurtful things grown children say to their aging parents!!😮😢😢😢

@marylynnbrooks9962

I can speak from experience. I'm almost 70, widowed and live alone.

My happiness or joy doesn't come from my adult children. It's my responsibility to get a life, to make friends, to dive into my faith and take advantage of opportunities, not theirs. 

There's something to be said for respecting our adult children. Criticism drives them away and there's nothing loving about those selfish attitudes.

Don't let this season make you bitter, no one in their right mind wants to be with a bitter selfish person.

Words should be spoken with some though and care from both sides..parents and children both should understand this

@TerryOLaughlin

Wonderful video! Take it to heart, without excuses, and it will change everything for the better! ❤️🙏🏼❤️👍

@skepsib4490

A brilliant video, you’ve explained exactly how it affects the children.   If only parents grew and learnt as they raised their children, the whole relationship could be mutually satisfying.  We often forget the importance of children in our own learning during their growing years - listening, communicating and honesty are the magical. From London England

What you’re saying puts then in a spot, I could notsay that to my grown children, I think they   like doing their on thing I’m use to  stay at home or go where ever I want to go,,  they call sometimes, I know they love me and I love them soooo much too. No hurt feelings!

@Kay.in.FL.HI.SA.JP.OZ.NZ.RIO..

@lalitaarwade9448

The percentage of parents saying hurtful things to children is very less to children saying hurtful things to parents ! And on top of it they don't ever really realize how hurtful it is to parents and feel entitled to parents help in spite of that !

@McD-j5r

I NEED A VIDEO THAT TALKS ABOUT THE PHRASES THAT THEIR ADULT KIDS SAY THAT HURT, OR THE INVISIBILITY OF THE NEW FAMILY TREATS THEIR ELDERS - THESE ARE MORE COMMON TO FIND THAN THE OPPOSITE.

@Bognorbabe

I've never said any of these phrases to my adult kids. Fed up with the excuses being made for entitled adult children . They're far more likely to be rude and rejecting to elderly parents than the other way around. How about a video about uncaring adult children?

@barbarakrall1184

My only child has two children of her own, so undoubtedly, one day the tables will be turned and she will be the abandoned parent. Live and learn.

@ShirleyParks-z7n

Good reminders with explanations what not to say to adult kids. Love the explanations of alternate things to say.

@amyhap8526

Thank you 💙🙏🇺🇸

@suemitchell2328

I agree with this wholeheartedly and try very hard not to say or do any of these although I may feel this way. They owe us nothing x

@shrees.5934
