Doing Your Best
How To Share Your Kids With Their Grandparents When Your Own Relationship With Them Sucks ([link removed])

“Adult children going no contact ([link removed]) with one or both parents has been a hot topic in recent years,” writes Katie McPherson. “But in between adoring your parents (or in-laws) and cutting them off completely ([link removed]) , there are a lot of other ways for a relationship to play out. Maybe you and your parents love each other but have a lot of different beliefs now, or perhaps you and your in-laws ([link removed]) are just super different personality-wise. In those cases, you want your kids to have a relationship with their

Shelley Mann Hite sets the scene: One morning not so long ago I walked into the bathroom and spotted a used tampon applicator fully visible, right at the top of the trash in the garbage can. My breath caught and my cheeks flushed as I yanked a few squares of toilet paper from the roll, wrapped it up like a miniature mummy, and shoved it deep into the bin. I was immediately transported back to my 12-year-old self, when I was new to periods and mortified by every aspect of them.” But then she took a beat and thought about why that was happening, and what she could learn from her own daughter.
