Being a great grandmother

Congrats Petallus and how lucky you are to see him often. It sounds as though you can just dote, whilst your daughter does the besotted baby sitting and support role

Thanks for congrats

I do think of myself as sitting on the sidelines and feel content with things being that way.

I wonder how many of us on GN are GG parents.

Congratulations, petallus! My Gt.Grandson is 4 now, I recognise your feelings too, as I felt much the same. My DD was made a grandma for the first time and DGD turned to her for advice (and the odd bit of help!) whereas I sat on the sidelines and looked on. I felt really good about this, actually, because I know how absolutely besotted my DD would be with her grandson. I see him often but not as deeply involved as I was with my grandchildren when they were tiny.

Congratulations, Petallus that's lovely news

Oh that's lovely petallus. Congratulations.

I cannot begin to imagine being a great-granny. It's not going to happen for a while I bloomin' hope, being as elder gs is only 13!.

No. I can imagine you wouldn't feel quite so involved. Enjoy all the same.
