They strip away the analytical shit we get bogged down with as adults and just say it as it is.Gosh that’s pretty profound, how lovely!! Thank you
I’ve had many a lightbulb moment listening to my grandaughter.
Maybe we are too busy to really listen as parents, or maybe your grandchildren just open up to you more because they know you’re a soft touch and equally a patient sounding board.

Me too, my eldest son turned 18 this past summer so it was our first derby day with him having legal pints and we had a great day, capped off by the result.My kids are my absolute best pals now though
Grandchildren will be the next step and I'm warming to it now after considering myself too young. I'm 52 and looking forward to the next generation when they arrive

What a little belter!
Mine are 16, 10 and 4. I'd love to do it all again. Being a dad is the best thing any man can hope to become.

Sorry I didn’t respond last night, my husband was moaning because I was constantly tapping away at my phone (my daughter in law and I were gossiping about some ‘big’ news
) and we were supposed to be watching something together ..So many people have told me that it’s a completely different type of relationship with your grandchildren than children but just as deep..and your granddaughter does sound very wise (albeit unintentionally
. ) I love spending time with children and listening to their take on life… I’d especially love a granddaughter too I must admit!Matesrates

My granddaughter arrived 5 weeks prematurely on 15/10/2022. Ivy Eleanor Walters. She weighed just 4lb 7ozs!
I had been backpacking in Nepal and Thailand for nearly 3 months, but got home hurriedly on the 18th! I did manage to get her a stuffed tangerine elephant though in Thailand as a present!

They do worse than that, one particularly notorious night in our house, at 3am my daughter projectile pooed on my wife. I took over while she cleaned up and she did exactly the same to me, then when I picked her up to carry her to the bathroom to hose us both down she threw up in my face.
It’s great though you’ll love it
