Hello. In this age of non traditional and changing families it is not surprising that our new grandchildren have 7 grandparents, both sets of parents having split and remarried/re-partnered, except one. This is great for the children, but I am not sure how we, the grandparents, are all going to get on. There is no acrimony, we do all rub along ok to date. These are the first grandchildren for this side of the family, although the four on the mother's side are all "well-experienced"!
My concern (which my husband pooh-poohs and obviously I don't want to go on about it and spoil his incredible pride and happiness) is because they are not "my" grandchildren but his, and I have never raised children of my own. I had a lot to do with my nieces and nephews, but that was 40 years ago! I bought a book on baby care, and I guess I can't be more afraid of all this as the new parents. Secondly that with so many grandparents, things might become stressed and competitive.
The twins arrived 3 days ago, and captured the hearts of the entire family immediately.
Anyone else been in this position?
