Grandparents

My nanna is a huge part of my life, and has always been there for anyone of her grandchildren no matter what, My mum had a breakdown when i was younger and i decided to go live with my nanna for awhile, I was extremly lucky to have her she is a good catholic woman and has strong values and beliefs without her i dont know where i would be today but i certainly wouldnt be here thats for sure!

I wasn't raised by my grandparents...but my husband was. He's closer to them than his parents and we always visit them and not his parents. Even my son doesn't realize they are his grandparents though he has met them a couple of times. But there are certain things that I see in my husband that I don't like because he's been pampered by his grandparents. I'm sure not all grandparents are like that. But my husband's grandparents are. And I guess that's normal too. Grandparents might not be able to be parents. It's their right to pamper their grandchildren when they are being taken care of ...where do you draw the line as grandparents and be a parent? I guess it was difficult for them to discipline because of the inherent grandparent feelings that they had for him. I can't really comment on all the ups and downs 'coz my husband is the only one I know who has been raised by grandparents.

I wasn't raised by my grandparents but I am very close with them still the same.

Grandparents are pepople who you ask for something and you know you will get it, they never scold, they spoil you totally, they stand up for you to your parents...love dem totally!

I was raised by my grandparents too, I love them so much . The hard part is they are much older so I already lost my grandpa and my grandma is slowing down, too.
