Is it just a nana thing?

Makes for a nice easy day for you then, sounds ideal.

I don’t think it’s necessarily a nana thing, grandads can be over the top too. My dh dotes on our three, and would do anything for them.
Where having our nearly three year old granddaughter on Monday, he’s already been shopping for her favourite treats, planned the day and got the toys ready. He’ll be the first to the door when she arrives and won’t leave her side while she’s here. So if that’s what your like then no it’s definitely not a nana thing .

Depends what you are doing that he thinks is over the top doesn’t it ?

If your life revolves totally and only round her I think its abnormal and arguably unhealthy... but I don't honestly know what you or he means. To get a proper answer I think we'd need to know more.

Enjoy her and do what comes naturally to you. You are her loving nana. What matters is meeting her needs and having fun.

I’m a bit confused by the daughter and grandchild bit
I wonder what your partner considers over the top?
Unless he actually objects, and can explain it I’d just enjoy your grandchild.

Don't know. Keep going with your heart and stop questioning yourself. Enjoy the gift without reserve.

I'm sure you're normal! Granddaughters are such a joy. If you enjoyed a good bond with your own grandma you will want to replicate that with your own granddaughter. Make the most of it I say.

I don’t know, what does your partner consider to be over the top?
