I have written previously on a GN forum about love and g.children. I absolutely loved all my children, to the exclusion of everything else. Even when they drove me mad in teenage years, I could never stop that total love.
I was never particularly keen on having g.children. As my children grew into adults I discovered a wonderful new world with them, when they paired up with wives, husbands, partners, I dropped down the pecking order with them. I knew that children would push me down even further.
However, all my g.children were planned and wanted babies, No....I never did have any rush of love for any them.
But they made my children happy and anything that does that is good with me. So, I work hard at extending the bubble of love with which I surround my children to go out around their children. The only one of these I have ever felt any sincere affection for was the one that I had a large part in her upbringing.
I now have eight g.children aged between 8 yrs and 20 yrs. One I actively dislike due to her bad behavior - but would never mention this to her parents, or treat her any different.
But...NO .....I never have been and never will be one of those people who say that their g.children are so much better than their own children.
