Grandparents!


Grandparents!

What is this grand parenting all about? Being grandparents means a beautiful baby and the loving parents, baby beds and mobiles, diapers and baby powder, pacifiers and rattles, baby food and baby bibs, toys and play pens, and babysitting. Ah, there we go! That is the crux of the whole matter. Grandparents mean instant and guaranteed baby sitter. No matter what or when the call, grandparents just can’t pass up the opportunity to take care of that beautiful baby. Why I even know a lady who frequently takes the opportunity to fly to Texas all the way from Sweden to have the opportunity to babysit. What is this grand parenting thing all about? Does it bring back fond memories of days long past. Is it a way to relive some of those memorable moments from our own children? Yes, I think it is all of these things and much more.
Grand parenting gives every parent the opportunity to exact revenge for those previous teenage years! When we have the grand baby we have opportunities to spoil that baby mercilessly. Toys? Yeah, whatever you want. Candy? Yeah, it’s good for you. Can I play now? Sure go ahead. Play time is always a learning opportunity. I knew a grandparent who had a sign that said “When mom says ‘no’ ask grandma. I like to tell stories on mom. Thing she used to do as a kid and she now seems to be embarrassed that I remember these things.
Oh such fun, isn’t it great being a grandparents?
