We all have different life experiences, family setups, problems, highs and lows. What is it you think makes you different?

I suppose one may think that as this site is Gransnet, the majority of posters will be grandmothers. I'm a grandmother because our youngest son has two children but as we're estranged, we have no relationship with them and have never met the youngest.

With such a wide range of threads and topics to discuss, it would be difficult to gauge who a typical Gransnet poster would be.

I'm not a typical gransnetter - I don't bake cakes grin

Varian you sound a little smug, if you don't mind me saying so!

Surely everyone has good times and some very tough times during the course of their lives. Most lives are a mixture

I do not think of myself as a typical Gnetter beacause I am a very fortunate Granny in many ways.

When I read other Gnetter's stories it makes me realise how fortunate I am.

Who is the typical Gransnetter?

I think there are a few posters who have been honest about estrangement, illness, finances etc.
I don’t think it makes them unfortunate, I am sure they would not want the GN community to think they were unfortunate.

Many of our fellow Gransnetters seem to have had quite unfortunate events during their lives
