...didn't sweat the small stuff.

My father always made a big deal out of everything. He didn't know how to take anything lightly or have an 'oh well' attitude towards things.

Learning to not sweat the small stuff is what makes life fun and funny. Parents need to be relaxed at times when interacting with their children.

...took the time to know me.

I wish my dad took the time to know me. My interests, hobbies, likes and dislikes. He would see that I am so much more than what he assumes I am. Unfortunately, he chooses to just go on what he thinks he knows. That's really too bad.

By not taking the time to know their children, fathers lose out on the opportunities for a wonderful friendship with their children.

...respected my children.

My father doesn't realize how short life is. Unfortunately he thinks when interacting with my children, he can speak to them and treat them the same way he did with me.

Grandparents have to realize how important their role is and take it seriously. Children remember things and grandparents should make sure they leave lasting, happy memories.
