Being Grandad

Hi

I am a failure.

One of the things I had got last night was a Popcorn Maker and a Chocolate Fountain.

I had underestimated the littlies capacity for eating, and keeping awake.

Nadi and Jakob are at school, the others are not.

They want a McDonalds.

Think yourself very lucky you can be with your grandchildren.
I have not even see to two youngest yet and they a 3yrs and 8 mths old. Doubt wether I will ever see them either. last time I saw the two eldest was about 3 years ago for 2 weeks only

So being a granddad I have now idea what it is about

Sorry to hear this Real, that's very sad, the children are missing out on grandparents.

I have no idea what being a grandparent is either but my reason is because I don't have any grandchildren, so to think I had some and couldn't see them would be horrible.

Re: Being Grandad

My grandmother had the best recipe for curing any childhood ailment including sleeplessness - a spoonful of brandy in warm milk.

The brandy sounds good Bruce, but drinking milk makes me vomit!

Hi

They make me happy Art.

What better way to spend my money.

I am no idiot, there is no way I am going to spend £1000s on them, they need to know the value of money.

The little things, yes.

They also know they have to clear up before they get another treat.

Even washing up can be fun.
