Funny I don't think you REALLY get that joke until you have kids of your own but shit yeah PAYBACK

Good luck to your girl for the birth Grandma

You'll be one of those yummy grannies who can still bounce around and share the fun and energetic times with your wee one. ENJOY

My Grandson arrived on Sunday 8th Feb at 3.25pm weighing in at a decent 8lb 8 ounces & was 52cm long.

They have named him Marcus.
Mum & baby are home now & seem to be doing ok. My son has only left their sides to go to work & sleep in his own bed. I hope the doting stuff carries on & doesn't wear thin.

I've got 6 so far, number 7 due in March, I think claiming I'm still 29 is wearing a bit thin now.

Ain't they great. Congrats Blue Babe

Me, too. In fact my 3 older brothers have not had kids, nor my only 3 cousins. My family is going extinct!

To each their own, however. People who have children, and people who don't, often pity each other. I hope you will enjoy grandmother-hood, bluebabe.

I quite like being a grampa - give you licence to be totally irresponsible...

Thank you all.
Doug is already threatening that we send him back to mum full of sugar etc

when he's old enough for solids.
Are us Grandparents supposed to feel diff? I don't but just wondering

Congrats on the grandbaby, I think it's an honor to be a grandparent no matter how old or young you are.
You should treasure all new life as your a short time living long time dead.
Now just think....you get to teach them all the "naughty"things other people won't, lol
