Sorry - misspelling.

Yes I would say I am

More time and definitely more tolerance

Probably about the same. I've tried/am trying really hard under both hats. Can't do more.

Do you mean now, Eleothan, or do you mean are we better grandparents than we were parents?

Oh, just noticed the other thread so ignore my post!

No. Definitely not.

They are completely different roles and I don't think you can compare them. It is much more fun being a grandparent because you are not responsible for their upbringing. Much more relaxing!
