I just have to tell someone! My granddaughter and I are extremely close and she has just told me that she and her partner are expecting a baby. She also said that, as it’s very early days they are not telling anyone except their parents and me! I am so delighted that I have been told at this early stage as no-one else in the family is being told until December. I can’t wait for this new member of the family! He/she will have so much love from all of us.,

Congratulations how lovely for your family. It’s lovely to see the family grow and get to see how our GCs lives turn out. I’ve loved seeing my GC expand the family and enjoy parenthood and see how proud they are to show off their babies. Enjoy this time, we are so privileged to be able see Grt GC born and thrive. 💐

Your granddaughter has told you her news, shared exclusively between you and her parents and told you to keep it secret until December.
You immediately post it on social media.

Because she was bursting to tell ‘someone’ easybee and we are anonymous? I don’t know her from a bar of soap, but can understand how joyful she’s feeling.

Congratulations Cross

It's great to have some good news isn't it? You must be thrilled to bits and I'm glad that you shared. Too much doom and gloom around for sure.

Thanks to all of you (except possibly easybee, who doesn’t seem to realise that this is an anonymous site!) 😂
