My kids grandparents have a hard time accepting my kids imperfections and flaws to the point of annoiance (leave alone that my children are the only grandchildrens on both side).

My theory is that they have a hard time accepting their own flaws and imperfections!

If I make them aware of some problem with the kids their response is either "everything will be ok" or "maybe there are too smart", neither of the two corresponds to reality but it reassure them and at the end that is what matters to them.

I find really frustrating not getting a balanced feedback and I wish they would leave their ego (as grandparents) aside and listen to what I am telling them.

AARRGHH...
