My favourite book when I was young ws Louisa May Alcott's Little Women. I read it again and again and still remember it fondly.

Don't tell me that you gave the contract to Ernie?

jingl, just so we could identify the winning post - i.e. if we had 600 entries, the random number generator picks one number between 1 and 600 and that poster is then the winner.

Probably to sort out all of our rude comments!

It's grand to have the chance to help out our children and to have time to spend with our grandchildren. If we can help to bring some fun and happiness into their lives, then surely that's a grand thing to do!

It's having the patience and experience to really appreciate every glorious moment with the grandchildren. As a parent you are often so busy the years rush by - as a grandparent you have none of the responsibility and worries so you can relax and enjoy your time with the kids. Plus it's hilarious listening to the parents complaining about the kids doing things you remember them doing as a child (and that you complained about too).

Thanks to all those who entered - the prize draw is now closed and we'll be announcing the winner first thing tomorrow! Enjoy National Grandparents' Day smile

GRAND is happiness, understanding and patience

busymumval Sun 05-Oct-14 10:51:44

its grand being a grandparent,
opportunities should never be missed.
Being around to help and support,
Or just be a listing ear,
we can spoil and treat them,
And can teach them so much,
But most of the time they see us friends,
Including us in their games,
We always love to play,
Keeping us young in our old fashioned way

vidd Sun 05-Oct-14 10:47:01

Being there always... No matter what

Experience puts the GRAND in grandparenting

Having the combined wisdom of Gransnet at one's fingertips helps when faced with grand parenting dilemmas. Watching grandchildren grow, learn and develop their individual personalities is a delight and a privilege.

Life experience and having the time to step back and share wisdom and knowledge to those who already love and respect you smile

Being a parent is the practice run, being a grand parent is when everything's perfect
