There are a lot of conflicts that can come up between parents and grandparents when it comes to raising kids. One of the biggest pieces of advice that is needed for grandparents is to zip it. You might have more experience and you may have wisdom you would like to add, but the parents are the ones who are in charge now. Parents also need to be given advice, and that is to lighten up. If a grandparent breaks a rule, let it go, kids are resilient.

Key Takeaways:

• Grandparents don’t make the rules, they enforce the rules set by their adult children.
• Unless a grandchild’s health or safety is at risk, grandparents shouldn’t offer uninvited advice.
• Parents need to lighten up if grandparents occasionally deviate from parental directives.

“I further explained that zipping it can be hard to pull off, especially in light of the fact that the average age for becoming a grandparent is 47. This means that many grandparents are still parents themselves raising their own children.”

When I was redecorating my living room, I realized that I forgot my bedroom. The place where I will be spending a lot of time, and the place where a lot of other people are spending more time because of the pandemic. The pandemic isn’t going anywhere, so it’s best to enjoy the rooms that we have in our home. Think in patterns, but stick to neutral colors because you will want to add more pops of color throughout your bedroom.

Key Takeaways:

• Think about the materials you favor and the visual effect they produce.
• At least one component – duvet, comforter, sheets, etc. – should be a solid color.
• Mix pattern scales by combining a small-scale pattern on one component with a larger pattern on another.

“Basically have at least of solid, a small scale pattern, and larger scale pattern in some configuration on your bed. And like I said before a “texture” like a knit can be considered a pattern.”
