About this listen
Has your parenting suddenly gone on trial decades after the fact?
You successfully raised children who now manage careers, relationships and possibly their own families. You thought your parenting performance review ended when they moved out and became functioning adults.
Now Your Children Say “You Messed Me Up”
Then seemingly overnight, your grown children transform into forensic investigators of your past parenting decisions.
This issue is harmful to seniors who are now getting on with their lives and finally learning how to navigate the senior years.
Welcome to the Parental Hot Seat: Senior Editor
This phenomenon strikes with predictability, typically hitting when children reach ages 35-45.
Suddenly you're defending why you made the decisions you did and being confronted with all sorts of complaints and trials that happened during the Reagan Administration, years ago.
You are not alone. This is happening with most seniors and their adult children from Gen X and Millenial offspring.
The Blame Game offers relief, wisdom and much needed humor for seniors navigating the bewildering experience of having their decades-old parenting decisions subjected to intensive scrutiny and criticism. With warmth and wit, this book helps you:
Understand why this criticism typically hits during your children's midlife years
Set healthy boundaries without damaging precious family relationships
Break free from endless cycles of criticism and defensiveness
Find joy in your senior years regardless of family tension
Build new adult-to-adult relationships beyond historical parent-child dynamics
This isn't about determining who's "right" about family history—it's about creating space for multiple perspectives while protecting your right to dignity and peace in your golden years.
For adult children who stumble upon this book (perhaps conspicuously placed on your parent's coffee table), there's valuable insight into your developmental reassessment and how today's parenting standards will likely appear to your own children someday. Spoiler alert: The critique circle keeps turning
Honest, compassionate and refreshingly funny, The Blame Game transforms family tension into an opportunity for greater understanding across the generations.
Because you deserve to enjoy your senior years without having your retirement interrupted by adult children tormenting you.
