Having been raised by an extremely overbearing and controlling Mother, I have always stayed out of the discussions regarding the career paths in which my grandchildren are interested. It is not my job, it is their parents job. BUT, that said they know where I am and have asked my opinion on their potential careers. I help in any way I can if I am asked, otherwise I stay out of situations like this. If, however, I was raising them, I would certainly expect to have an opinion. I enjoy being the good guy, I take them shopping, I spend money on them and just love them to pieces.
