I see my 2 grandsons (aged 9 and 6) who live here almost every day. We are very involved in their lives and go to school concerts, sports etc. Also lots of childminding in school holidays and occasional overnights. Their mum is a single parent and runs her own business so very busy. We are privileged the share so much of their lives, though having to exert discipline and do homework with them makes it more like an in loco parentis relationship.
4 other grandchildren live in Surrey. 1 grandson (aged 3) and 3 granddaughters (7, 5 and 1). They come here (N.Ireland) about 2 or 3 times a year and we go over there about 4 times a year. I have a good relationship with them all, although DGD3 is a bit young to remember us yet.
All very different personalities, and all precious to us.
Anger management!!! Help needed.
