Nope, not me either, I love all of them, but my children are my daughter’s, not mine, my children are mine, thé love is different, deeper.

My daughter was the apple of my eye, and always will be.

Nope. I love my GC to bits but not in the same way that I love my own DC. Totally different.

Not me. Love them to bits but my sons are such an intregal part of me body and soul that can't be matched or surpassed.

I have similar feelings. Would do anything for them and treat them like they are mine. Get very tearful if they are upset and want to put it right for them.

Not me. Nothing can supplant my feelings for my own children. I adore my GC of course, but I have firm boundaries of the difference between my own children and my children’s children.

I had a late baby so there isn’t a massive age difference between my youngest child and my oldest GC so maybe that’s why.

Can any one tell me, why I feel that I have given birth to my grandsons? I feel that they are mine, I have overwhelming and I mean overwhelming love for them .. I know that I haven't slept with my son-in-law lol .. When I look at pictures of them when they were as a babies tears just roll down face and I want to scoop them up and never let go!! My daughter know all this and she thinks I'm a silly old Nanna .. Does anyone else feel this way?
