Grandparents are a wonderful blessing to the world.
The best people you can run to when Mommy or Daddy said "NO". Grandparents are angels to the children, the defender of the universe, the shoulder to cry on, the genie in the bottle and the one who will keep your stomach full at all times.
They are cool. They are savage. They are full of love and understanding for their grandchildren. They keep them happy even their parents are not.
Grandparents are the best here's why:
1. They will spoil you
Mommy and daddy said no sweets, no sugary drinks but don't worry, granny and granda will buy you anything you're not allowed to eat or drink. And will even tell you, "Won't do you any harm".
If you're crying, go to granny and granda and you will feel better, they have their ways.
Grandparents will give you their full time and attention. They will play ball with you even their complaining about their arthritis.
They never out of patience for their grandchild. Their love is boundless.
2. They will buy you the best gift
It doesn't matter if it cost hundreds of pounds, anything for a grandchild they will buy it! Just to keep them happy.
They will buy you anything you wish and even surprise you with gifts even if it's not your birthday. No need for an occasion for them to buy something for their babies.
3. They tell you wonderful stories and a great listener of yours
They are full of experience. They have loads of stories, you name it. They will tell you about the war. And how hard life is when they were young and how lucky this generation now.
They tell you stories where you will learn a valuable lesson.
Grandparents also love to listen to every story you want to share and answer your question in the most endearing way.
4. They will learn you to do chores
You will never grow up with lazybones with grandparents. They will teach you a thing or two. Wash the dishes, go grab a chair let the kid stand there fold their sleeve up and give them something to wash.
Baking? Give their own dough and let them mimic what you are doing.
Cooking soup, let them help with the vegetables!
5. You always have someone to run to
You did something bad and Mommy or Daddy got mad and so you cry and ran to granny. Grab Granny's hand and let her deal with them.
(That's my Tia, every time she is in trouble)
6. They will slip money into your pocket
I always wonder where my kid's money comes from especially my son, and where else? "Granny gave this to me!"
To the grandparents, their grandchildren never do anything wrong. Spoiled in everything but most of all spoiled with their love. Grandparents are full of it. And from them, grandchildren learn what love is.
And the greatest joy of grandparents is their grandchildren. It is a blessing to have lovely parents/ in-laws like them.
And I thank God for giving my kids a Wonderful Awesome Lola! We love her lots.
