Grand children

[tony2stix]

Hi is it me or is there a different feeling you get from having a Grandchild to your own Kids? It may sound selfish of me but Ifeel alot more closer to m grandaughter than my kids, apart from her just deciding to paint the upstairs bathroom a bright red colour with nail varnish bless her LOL

[netty]

Yes Tony,it is very strange,think its because we have more time for them than we did with our kids,and of course we are a bit wiser.Hence why i havent got a life sharing my time between the 7 of them,lol.

It's not just you tony I am same with my one year old Grandaughter Poppy, maybe it's because we can give them back when they tire us out

Same here Sean

Seriously though, maybe a similar thing, not got any children of my own but I love my nephews to bits

Me too, no children, but I have three nieces, who I am close to. In fact the youngest one lives only a few miles from me and we go to dinner on occasion. Our next "date" is this coming Monday.

Aww im jealous , id love to be a grandad , ive got the hair for it as well !
Think ive got a long wait though , as my daughter is only 11 & 3/4 !!
I must admit i really miss having a child , but thats me being soppy !
Ive often heard that grandparents enjoy there grandchildren more than there own kids , but i wonder if its the age of them really , i mean will they enjoy them when there stroppy teens ?

[Chrissie]

(((MRL)))) you sound like such a lovely dad

I think stroppy teens tend to turn to grandparents/aunties/uncles more than they do to their parents. I think it's kinda like they need a second opinion on life

[Scylla]

I know nothing about children or grandchildren except that I was a horrible one of both

(((MrL))), your daughter won't be a child much longer - when she's 18 you'll be wondering where the time went

I work with children on the autistic spectrum and really have to make a big effort to interact with them at least as much as thier dogs
What can I say, Im an animal person.

I can so relate to your post #11 Wot

I do love to see/hear about dads/grandads/uncles loving & caring about little humans. My dad wasn't very good on that score so sort of grew up thinking that was the norm.
