Grandparents Unfiltered: When Should They Hold Back?

As people age, some may find it challenging to filter their thoughts and behave appropriately in certain situations. This is especially true for grandparents, who may feel like they have nothing to lose and can say whatever comes to mind. However, this lack of filter can lead to hurtful comments and opinions, and it is essential to consider the impact of our words before speaking.

When a new parent’s grandmother made a negative comment about redheads in front of her own redheaded grandson, it raised questions about when it is appropriate to hold back. While everyone is entitled to their opinion, it is crucial to consider how our words may affect others and strive to be kind and respectful, even when we disagree.
