Do you remember your first Christmas with your new baby all those years ago? I do. I was very young and it was important to me that we spend that Christmas with my parents. I was not thinking of my child at that time or even how much my parents loved being with us to watch their grandchildren. I did not know how important it was to them. But now...now I am on the other end of the grandparenting. In fact I have been a grandmother for 20 years now. I have no idea if my husband and I are good in this role but we certainly have a lot of experience. I thought I would share some lessons reflecting what we have learned and maybe you can find something that will help you.
Have a great day! b |

ReplyDeleteThank you for the comment. I don't know if #7 was the best lesson but I do know it was the hardest!
We have always loved the outcome for #1...the parents thought we were nuts but it turns out we were right on the mark. The children understood and that was what was important.
