Just to reiterate the conditions for entry it is: anyone telling us what they think puts the 'grand' in grandparenting on this thread.

We're also going to be doing something with all the wonderful comments here too, as there's nothing we enjoy more than celebrating the amazing, often surprising world of gransnetters!

The GRAND thing about being a grandparent is sending the little ones home and settling down to a session with my friends on Gransnet grin

Grand at spoiling and loving those little humans that have such special place in our hearts.

Grand is for the huge hugs you get from them and how you feel when you're told "I love coming to your house Nannie'

It's a grand job x

I never had grand parents but for my grandchild I hope i put LOVE, FUN RESPECT and ADVICE into helping with my grandchild.

I always wondered why Grandparents always gushed and bragged about their grand children?. Then I became one 8 months ago and the feelings I had for him as soon as he was born were over whelming and such a grand feeling. Becoming a grand parent is the best feeling in the world. xx

Giving lots of hugs and kisses.
Reading lots of stories.
Answering lots of questions.
Nursing lots of bruised knees.
Doing lots of exciting things.

The sign of a good grandparent is when your children are as delighted to see you as your grandchildren are : THEN you know you've got it right !

the simple joy of seeing the world through the eyes of a child

When God created grandparents
the world was truly blessed
with all the special joys
that make a family happiest . . .

For grandparents know how to do
the things that warm a heart,
They touch our lives with loving care
right from the very start . . .

They show that they believe in us
and all we're dreaming of . . .
When God created grandparents,
He blessed our lives with love

ah, gregarious, rambunctious, astute, nurturing, and dear :-)

Being a grandparent is ace (as the kids say).

Sharing beautiful moments x

It's totally GRAND to have a next generation of family that you love unconditionally as much as you love your own children. That you can love and spoil and be there for, always, the same as you are always there for your own children. It doesn't get any grander than that, ever!

being able to enjoy your grandchildren

Being able to take the grandchildren out but them hand them back at the end of the day - a bit like Boris bikes!

The grandness of the job, what a pleasure and responsibility!

The Grand in Grandparent means you should be listened to. We have been through everything before they have. We have made the mistakes before they were born, so we are only trying to stop them from making the mistakes we did. We only want to protect them, by showing them how much we love them.

Being the backup for every eventuality. But feeling the sheer joy of their love for you, and knowing that they are your grandchildren.

Having someone to have a good giggle with, and just enjoying the moment.

The sheer joy and delight of welcoming a new family member into the fold. Embracing and sharing the challenges and life events that comes with the journey.

GRAND is the feeling of happy exhaustion that we all love so much!
