I became Nana a month ago , a beautiful Granddaughter , very much out of our family mold ! In the early days a mix of emotions , a new role , how to feel , how to act , how not to say the wrong thing as Mum is not my daughter , Dad is my son . This makes a huge difference ! Feelings of delight alongside frustration at seeing things done not how I'd do them ! I'm sure many will empathize ! My tongue is still intact , just & relationships have survived ! Interested to hear from others in their early days !

1 year old granddaughter here. Dad is my son. We have just gone with the flow tbh. Everything is different to when we had our boys so I wouldn’t even attempt to advise. The parents are doing a great job and don’t really need our advice. My DIL is very clear that when baby is with us we are responsible for her and we should do things our way. I do try to stick to the way they do things though. Just enjoy being a grandparent and don’t overthink things.
