Becoming grandparents

What is it about becoming grandparents?

They tend to become the exact opposites of when they were just parents. They are so happy being manipulated by their grandchildren. It is interesting to see them cheerfully agreeing to the things that they’ve always said ‘No’ to us, their children! And don’t forget about reproaching the parents for doing exactly the same things to their grandkids that they have done to us. Hmm.. no wonder they become soft in their old age!

I've heard somewhere that it is wonderful being grand parents. They can pamper the grandkids as much as they want and by the end of the tiring day, they can send the kids to their parents!!!!
Yup, looks like all fun and not much responsibility :-) Not bad, huh? Grandparents become the children's champions and the poor parents end up being the bad guys. Guess that is how the system works! Well, I am not complaining too much as we have had our share of pampering from our grandparents, defending us from our parents and there is nothing like it!!!
