I have so much love for my grandson and his brother that my heart nearly bursts. I can't explain it..it's an overwhelming love as if he is my own ..particularly the first born as we are so connected emotionally although I don't see himthat often bit that's another story

Not really except for one friend who has only one son who doesn't want to get married and have children and she says she has no interest in grandchildren. Everyone else has been very kind BUT there is only so much friends can take. I have say I know women whose only conversation is their grandchildren and if you don't know them yourself or have never met them its hard to be interested. I'm sure you are very welcome here and people will be very pleased to share in your joy- its is an exciting time for you.

Hi there - new to this but would just like to put something out there.
My daughter is expecting my first Grandchild in the summer and amongst my friends/acquaintances/colleagues I am one of the first to be here. I am mindful not to turn in to Nanny-to-be bore as I am very aware that until you are in this position it is of very limited interest to some! However, one or two of my closest friends have been disinterested in the extreme. In a way that I have found quite surprising. I have confided in a supportive, more interested friend who feels there may be an element of jealousy - not something I was expecting,and indeed I find quite surprising!I would love to know if this is something anyone else has experienced..
Thank you
