The 5 Rudest Things Grandparents Can Do When Visiting Their Adult Childrens House
Here are the 5 things you should never do when visiting your adult children's house, according to family experts.
1. Criticize their lifestyle choices. Whether it's their career, their partner, their parenting style, their diet, their decor, or their hobbies, resist the urge to comment on how they could do better or how you would do things differently. Remember, they are adults who can make their own decisions and live with the consequences. Your role is to support them, not judge them.
2. Don’t treat their house like a hotel. Don't expect your adult children to cater to your every whim, clean up after you, or entertain you all the time. Respect their house rules, help out with chores, and offer to pay for some expenses.
3. Don’t interfere with their routines. Your adult children have their own schedules, habits, and preferences that may not match yours. Try to adapt to their rhythm and follow their lead.
4. Don’t snoop around their belongings. Curiosity may kill the cat, but it can also ruin your relationship with your adult children. Don't go through their drawers, closets, cabinets, or files without their permission. Don't read their mail, check their phone, or browse their computer.
5. Don’t Compare them to others. Nothing can hurt your adult children more than feeling that they are not good enough for you or that you favor someone else over them. Don't compare them to their siblings, cousins, friends, or neighbors. Don't brag about how well others are doing or how much they have achieved. Don't make them feel inadequate or inferior.
Try to celebrate your adult children’s uniqueness and accomplishments when visiting.

You may know I’m a Certified Personal Trainer specializing in training people over age 50. Most of my clients are over age 70 and still seeing improvements in their strength and health.
I get lots of good questions on losing weight and how to stay fit, especially as we have to train with medical conditions or injuries as we age. I read many books and publications and will keep you informed here about fitness, relationships, finances, second careers, part time jobs and of course, how not to work at all and enjoy retirement.
