rmaynard 15,461 #7 Posted December 20, 2022 If I ever got a letter like that, I'd be thinking, "what is she buttering me up for?" Yes, all kidding aside, grand-parenting is great. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peter lena 8,629 #10 Posted December 20, 2022 @Handy Don always been in touch with kids , growing up my mother loved babies , to the extent of taking in abandoned babies for the ny , catholic charities for 27 years , 2 babies a year , thats 54 babies ! my 3 sisters and I were taught how to care for and get involved with those babies , just like your little brother or sister , most gut wrenching days , was bring a baby back down to the sisters , handing over that baby , and getting another one . local dr,s at the time , there were no baby doctors , would call about baby issues and my mother would give her experienced advise . to this day , any time I can handle a baby , I love it . pete 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When my son and DIL had our first grandchild here to visit, I would regularly change her. At first, though, my DIL was skeptical. Then my son explained: "He learned how when he was 10 and his youngest brother was born and of course he also did plenty as my sisters and I were growing up. He knows what to do." Then she relaxed. Gotta make allowances for new mom's right? 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
