2:16 am
>> i like it better this way. can't remember anything. >> me either, reg. okay, you are always so dapper. you are always dressed beautifully. and we were wondering, is there -- is there a difference in the way you get treated? does a man get treated differently if he's in a fantastic coat like this, or -- where's my mr. cargo pants? where did he go? >> right here. >> would you mind coming over here? tell me your name, please. >> franco. franco, stand over here so everybody can see you. do you think somebody is going to treat regis better than franco? what do you think? >> i hope not! >> remember when celebrity chef geoffrey zakarian is always in a suit and he says if everyone is casual, he's informal. if everyone is in semi formal, he's very formal. and a lot of women can't stand
2:17 am

2:19 am
>> look out! >> people are apparently very interested in this, they can't believe a dog is driving. oh, look at that. >> oh, my god. >> stopped eventually. that's a good thing. wow. a little damage done there, i guess. but you know, this time of year, we want everybody to know, no matter what, don't leave pets or children in the car in summertime. whether it's running or not, you know? >> well, if they're going to be out of the car for two or three car. >> yes, that's the point. you never leave children and animals in there. did you ever do that? crazy with your kids? >> sometimes you can't take dogs into a store. >> so you take the dogs home and then you go to the store. >> why are we arguing about this! >> i don't know. >> i'm mad. >> since we're shouting out, is there i a guy in the image

2:22 am
2:23 am
they say there is nothing better than being a grandparent. i'm looking forward to it. >> yeah, that's right. you get to spoil your grandkids rotten, you know? and then you give them back to the parents at the end of the day. >> and let them deal with it, right? that spoiling includes lots of treats like this scene from the hit movie, "parental guidance." >> take a look. >> here's the deal. just little pieces and you don't tell mommy about the movie. i don't tell her about the cake. you guys okay? i will be right back. >> what a great day. like a birthday that came early. >> hi, artie, we're back!
2:24 am
>> yeah, that. so here to help out grandparents and parents is the author of "sanity-savers" dale atkins. nice to see you again. >> nice to see you. >> grandparents feel like they're entitled to treat grandchildren any time they want to. >> it's true. we feel we have this extra -- just an extra flavor we have with our grandchil, taste them better than anybody else. and we can take liberties and sometimes the liberties do not go well with their parents. >> meaning the rules, right? >> the rules. >> you're supposed to respect, first of all, parental rules. >> you have to. you have to respect parental rules and you have to be careful
2:25 am
even if you don't agree with them. a lot of times, they're about electronics, they're about food, they're about manners. but whatever the parents say, you really have to defer to them, because that's your role as grandparents. to support your children in making their role as parent as easy as possible. >> that's typical sometimes. >> yeah. >> do you enjoy -- >> you can't help but have fun with them. and maybe you're transforming something else that they were counting on. >> that's true. you want to have fun and you want the kids to have fun. at the end of the day, however, wh that they have had their face in the cake -- >> yeah. >> -- you just have to take responsibility and say, well, we were just trying to do this. a lot of parents kind of hedge their bet a little bit and they try and make up a story. doesn't work. >> alrighty. so the next -- know your role. >> yes. we all have a role. and sometimes the role is not what we expected it to be. we want it to be there all the time or didn't want to be there that much because we already raised our kids and didn't want to do the things our children expect of us. just understand, if you talk about it and say this is what i'm available to do, this is what i can do, how can i object
2:26 am
hear from their parents is, how can i be helpful, tell me what to do and then i'll tell you if i can do it. >> good piece of advice. >> one thing that would be wrong to do, probably, reg, don't give the talk. the grandparents shouldn't give the talk. >> the talk or advice. nobody wants to hear advice unless they ask for it. don't ask, don't tell. >> exactly. >> unless you're asked, don't tell. if you're asked, be open, be honest, be kind. and don't say look, i raised these kids, i know what i'm doing. parenting is different for every set of parents and family. so you can give advice only if you're asked. >> all right. what about respect boundaries? >> oh, boy. respecting boundaries. well, the clip had to do with boundaries. i think, really, whether we think of boundaries, a parent and child is having an interaction and then the grandparent wants to jump in. i have the right way to do this or do it my way. no. you have to respect the boundaries, you have to respect your parents' role -- your children's role as the parent. now, the parents may say, please, just stay out of it, mom. or stay out of it, dad. in which case, you have to say,
2:27 am
go in the other room, and later you can say, if you want my take on this, i'll be happy to give it to you. but not in front of the grandchildren and don't get in the middle. don't get in the middle of the spouses and don't get in the middle of the children and parents. >> you're doing everything wrong? >> you have to be careful out there, don't you? >> you getting in trouble? >> i don't think so. but i understand what she is saying. >> okay. the last one. and this one is what? >> do you know this one? always be supportive. >> this is the -- this is the cardinal rule. be supportive, be positive, try and look for the pieces of the relationship that are really wonderful. remember, you have an opportunity, as i said before. help your children be the best parents. support them. tell them what they're doing
2:28 am
patient. give them support in ways that are meaningful to them and don't criticize. >> she is absolutely right. everything she said was right on the money. >> i know. >> that's what it should be. >> all right. from california to new york island, we're putting your travel trivia to the test. >> who knew! i have some special prizes for the gang. >> and regis has a secret surprise, right after this. ? gaviscon is a proven heartburn remedy that gives you fast-acting, long-lasting relief. it immediately neutralizes acid and only gaviscon helps keep acid down for hours. for fast-acting, long-lasting relief,
