Grandparents are the best persons we've known. Parents are the worst

yea i thought about it all the time. i got scolded everytime when i was a kid and cursed myself for being born there. but now i realise that it is for our betterment. i really love my parents more than anything in the world.

Hi, I feel very sorry that you think that your parents are worst. I am very closed to my parents. I am lucky that my parents are very loving, caring and encouraging for me. I don't have any grandparents now. Because I 55 years old and My father is 92and my mother is 83 years old. But in my childhood, I was not very closed to my father's parents. But my mother's parents used to visit us sometimes and I am very attached to them. So my grandparents were also very lovable.

I have never thought of that, ever in my life. I have of course wished to have my parents rich as other parents were back in my childhood... but i never wished them replaced. I also have wondered what if my mom did not marry my dad, I wondered If i would still be the daughter of my mom? hehe those sort of stuffs alone. I have always cherished my mother and for giving her as my mom. She is not perfect and i am not perfect too but She has always been the best mother for us and I know there won't be any better mom than her. I have never been so close with my grandparents, I knew them but they weren't the ones that took care of us so i would not even dare compare how they are to us.

I don't have any grandparents left. They are all gone now, but still have fond memories of them. I think when it comes to grandparents (I am one now), they slow down and spend more time with a child. Our parents are busy with raising their families and putting food on the table, which can be stressful and sometimes time consuming so they don't get that time with their children. Our grandparents though, are always there. They aren't too busy, they love to spend time with you, teach you things and they just enjoy having you around. I know I spend that extra time with my grand daughter because it's fun. Even though I still have 3 children at home, it's different. Maybe because she's not here everyday or maybe it's going back to she's only 3 and everyone else here is older. I miss that toddler stage. Can also say that I see my daughter in my grand daughter, so it's like having my daughter little again and getting to see her grow up all over again.

I had the worst parents, very violent, beating us chldren with dog chains and dog lashes, whipes day and night, you were never sure if you were surving it or would be still alive. But I can't say my grandparents were the best persons, they ignored the situation also and I am sure the mother of my mother was exactly the same violent, manipulating person as my mother was. BTW many people are way better as a grandparent as they ever were as a parent. It's easier to be with a child you don't need to raise anymore, might be the (bad) consience is playing a role as well. Making up to the grandchild what you did "wrong" to your own child.

Grandparents are the best people in the world. They pamper us, tell us stories and play with us. In absence of parents, they take care of us. But I have wonderful parents and even more wonderful grandparents, so I have been very lucky in this regard.

Frankly speaking i thought this many times. But then i realized i was scolded because i was wrong. But grandparents always pamper us but this doesn't mean they want us to do wrong things they try to explain it in another manner where as parents scold us. Yes i become rebellious many times. Then again think it was just bad on my part.

i think so parents are best because i too have a grandmother who does'nt love at all. she only pretends to love me and that too infront of my parents.

well Im more fond of my paretns than my grandparents. both of my grandfathers pased aways and they were so loving and i loved them like everything but my both grandmothers are pretty wacky. they dont seem much loving and caring to me. one of my grandmother has a lot of money and what she just does is goto the locker at home count the number of notes put it back and does this atleast 4times a day. she dosnt have any liking for my parents or even me. what she just likes is 1. Money 2. Food 3. Sleep .... and that makes her day wodnerful, pretty weird isnt it? and Im 100% SURE that nobody has a super grandma like her!
