Grandchildren- Found the Secret

[two_bit_score]

I only have one grandchild and she is two. But I have already discovered the secret to handling them!



Just let them do whatever they want to do.

As long as they don't get hurt.

Agree completely. I have so much fun with my grandson.....running, jumping...playing ..... He loves to feed cows and bait the hog traps...And of course roam in the woods....

No Grandchildren... I do have four nieces and the oldest is 10

The 3 sisters are always eager to help on any project... when the oldest was eight she was visiting just when I was replacing the plywood on my box trailer... already had it cut... just needed to position and pilot drill and put in the bolts... almost a box worth.

I showed her how to drill and use a wrench to tighten the bolts... she had so much fun and every time she sees that old trailer she comes over to make sure all the bolts are as they should be...

Her father wasn't so happy about it... she went home and started looking for things to fix... like the fence... oh well... can't please everyone.

Just another great use for the Duct tape bunch. Personally I like Adam on mythbusters tied upside down on table, to keep him out of trouble..But never on my grandkids, my wife would brand me on the flank..

That seems to be the philosophy of most grandparents. My mom has made it perfectly clear that the rules at Grandma's house are completely different than the rules at home. For instance, ice cream for dinner is competely acceptable, and bedtime is whenever you go to bed.

I'll put up with all the spoiling in the world in order for my kids to have a good relationship with their grandparents. What grandparents and grandkids share more than anything is an enmity towards the generation between them. When my kids grow up a little more and realize that mom and dad don't know anything, I want them to have other role models they can go to that I can trust.

Now, if those two posts by Mace and Brin don't make you LAUGH, then something is truly wrong.

Gee, I don't know! Doesn't look anything like the man I was always told was my pappy but then again...maybe mom wasn't the pillar of virtue she always claimed she was....
