Not for me Happygran love them but happy to hand them back to their parents. I'm not noted for my maternal feelings though- shock horror.smile

I'm not sure there is such a thing as too close. We have one granddaughter and I am completely surprised about how much I love her smile

As above, I just wonder if any of you feel the same as I do, that your love for your grandchildren is as deep as that for your own children?
I adore my four grandchildren but sometimes I think a little too much.

I am aware that I am granny and not mummy and NEVER offer advice unless asked but sometimes I wish they were my own children!!
It doesn't help that I going through menopause and kissing goodbye to my own fertility!
