Growing up did you spend a lot of time with your grandparents?

Yeah I use to spend a lot of time with my grandparents when I was a kid since I use to stay with them when my parents use to go to work every day and I still spend a lot of time with my grandparents I see them almost every day which is a great thing.

I lived with my grandmother on my mother's side from the age of 12yrs until I become an adult. My mother passed when I was 12. I don't remember that much about my grandfather on my mother's side he and my grandmother divorced before I was born. My grandmother on my father's side was a mean hateful old woman, she just didn't care too much for some of her grandchildren. I didn't know my grandfather on my father's side.

That was indeed a sweet story , that reminds me of my days with grandma which i always cherished, it was such a joy to spent time with her as i listened to her old childhood stories & folktales , but she left us a couple of years ago & grandpa already expire b4 i was born.

Well I spent more time with my grandmother on my mother's side because she lived closer to my place. We weren't very close though. Sometimes I think that the grandmother-granddaughter relationships portrayed on tv and in film is not realistic. But I think my grandmother on my mom's side is really close to some of my other cousins. I'm just not the favorite and it's okay. I've accepted that a few years ago and it's really just fine with me to not have a very close relationship with my grandma. You're lucky though so you should treasure it. :)

I was with my grandparents since I was a year old . They raised me . I do have four bothers and two sisters I got to see so often and we would torture each other :p. yeah my grandfather was my dad. He taught me a lot about respect and how a man is suppose to treat you . He was always the first on to have a door open for you . My grandmother is the strongest woman I have ever met , and the kindest . I lost my pop a few years back and it was devastating , my grandmother is still alive and as strong as ever still helping the people she lives near all she can . She feeds everyone . I remember fishing with grandfather and him telling me about stories of my father . My father past away before I really had a chance to know much about him . I love my grandpa , and miss him dearly . Big hugs going out to all of that's missing your grandparents right now .

I'm pretty sorry to tell that I don't spend a lot of time with my grandparents.When I was a child I lived apart of my grandparents on my father's side so I don't have a deep impression of them.We don't have any chance to gather together only on vacations.Because of piving apart for a long time,we didn't have any topics to say .That is embarrassing.I'm cavring to change this situation,I know they love me ,and want to know my life .I feel very sorry for them.

Growing up, I had all four grandparents. Now my mother's parents are gone, but we had them in our lives for a good long time, until my sister and I were both into our 20s. I don't get to see my Dad's parents often because none of us drive, but we talk on the phone quite often.

yes i do, we live not so far away from my gran parents, Growing up we always go there as in like every saturdays and sundays, we spent all our christmas there and whenever there's occasion we always spend it there in my grand parents house.

Growing up all I did was spend time with my grandparents. I lived right next door so it was great and easy to see them. We would have sing a longs and play board games it was great. Unfortunately, since I've been older I haven't spent that much time them I really should.

I can say I did and did not. As what my parents told us, my mom's mother was the one took care of me when I was still a baby. My dad's mother was the one took care of my elder brother. Our parents were working out of town so no one can be trusted to take care of us but our grandparents. I can't remember anything about it..hehe. But our neighbors calling me with my grandma's nickname. First I didn't like it but I get used to it..hehe.

My grandparents actually raised me after my parents divorce when I was one year old. So yes I spent an EXTREMELY large amount of time with them. My grandmother just passed awy in March and I miss her so much.

I really didn't spend as much time with my grandparents as I would have liked to while growing up. Now that I am an adult I try to spend as much time with them as possible. All of my grandparents are alive except one grandfather. The others are in their 60's and I enjoy my time with them. They are so much fun.

I used to spent time with my grand parents when i was a kid. but they left for abroad. but we seldom talk.

Yes we lived closer to my mom's parents. So we grew up with them. Grand dad was very strict but Grand ma is the most loveable and sweetest lady I have ever met. She was always with a smile and ever ready to have a party. The day she passed a way is the saddest day in my life.

no i didn't...we didn't...we use to visit our grandparents once in a blue moon i think when they are alive (mother side)...my dad doesn't want us visiting there that's why we don't really see them that much...he doesn't like the environment on their area...dad's side we don't either and its our choice not to because we hate them...they are just too cruel on us reason for us to stay away and wouldn't even care if we see them..we love the mom's side more than ever because they treat as nice...

I definitely did. I was raised by them. I went to live with them when I was 18 months old as they would not allow a single father to raise a daughter back when I was little. Fortunately for me, my grandparents took me in, or god knows where I would have wound up. Things were not always the best there but for the most part I knew I was loved and they did not want me going to a strangers home to live.

One of my grandmothers lived with us until I was 13, then she lived in an aparement close enough for me to walk over and have tea and cookies with her every day. She was a huge influence in my life and in my faith. My other grandmother came to visit on most Sundays and sometimes for dinner on Wednesdays as well. She was also a great influence on me - of how not to act once one gets to be a grandmother. One of the best lessons I got from the grandma who lived with us was about tithing. She explained that everything belonged to God, but that he only wanted us to give 10% back to help with ministry. She also explained that the 10% included not only our treasure/money, but also our talent and our time. She said that if we are awake for 16 hours a day that we should spend 1.6 hours per day with him - praying, reading God's word, etc. And if we're not able to spend that much time each day, that we should make up for it on Sunday, when we can attend Sunday School and church in the morning and a service in the evening as well. She said that if God gave you a good singing voice, you should be using it to praise the Lord. And she was the first to tell me that if one DID get a talent or gift from God, then NOT using it to serve Him was like stealing. Grandma only had a 7th grade education, and she looked at the world rather simply. But she often said that because she lacked education, she was still able to look at God with a child's perspective. And since it says in the Bible that we're supposed to be more like children (open, caring, full of wonder), then that was a good thing (that she was more child-like) in her mind.

I am not as fortunate as many people. I am the youngest in family with both my parents are youngest child also. So my father's side grandparents passed away long before I am born. However, I have met my mother's side grandmother but she was already sick when I am old enough to strike decent conversation with her. I do not have the quality time like having dinner together or hanging out together because both my parents moved out from their parents' house since young. The family is too big and the relationship is not very close. I am always envious of big family who gather and have quality time together.
