It is normal for granny to call grandchildren everyday. But too often will disturb them. Do they like u too ? If not then you will be a nuisane to them. You may also disturb the teaching by their parents. Grand parents usually unintentionally interfere with the teaching of parents and this usually make the children confuse of who to listen to. If you notice there are similar things as I mention, then stop interfering. You child will love u for that.

How important is your marriage? If you truly love your husband...he should come first. The grandkids will see this commitment and become better people because of it. I have 2 grand children, who are now 12 and 16. They have always seen a loving relationship between their grandfather and me....and they are wonderful loving children and growing into mature adults. Remember the grandkids will grow up like your kids and it will be you and your husband alone together again.....Keep the fire burning and you will have a great future together. God Bless!

How do the parents feel about you ringing every day? You can become too obsessed and I can understand how, but you must give them a little distance and let them ring you for a change.
What are you going to do when they get to the age where they are more interested in other friends and activities other then with you. You are very important in their upbringing but don't get so close that you become distant, if you know what I mean. Love them and be with them but don't smother them. I'm sure they love you very much and I know how good it is to be with them but you must get yourself a life outside of grand children too.

I would say you are obsessed. Being a good grandmother is a great thing. The kids will grow up and not need you as much anymore. You may not think that now, but that will happen. Don't expect your friends and husband to wait around until you have time for them.

You are like me, I am obsessed with my children and a little over zealous with my grand children. I love them all dearly and would do all I can for them.
You are obsessed as I am, but like me you have the right to. Keep it up and be the best grand mother ever, but remember granddad. He probably loves his grandchildren deeply like you and might just want a look in.
Lots of Love and Luck.

sure it is normal. That is what Grandma's do. People who have grandchildren that they are close to are the luckiest people in the world. I thank God everyday for my 14. I have some that if I don't call them, they call me. How lucky can one person get????

Heck, you put them before your husband, you love your grandchildren very much. Same as i do, all 12 of them, but i dont put them before my partener, I love my partener too, and he is not the grandfather of my grandchildren, but he joins in when they visit, stay with me.. he is a part of there lifes also. Your husband is there grandfather too, is he not.... you need to join your family together as one.

always remember your hubby is the one who will be there after the children and grandchildren are grown and have their own lives.They will never put you first!I have 18 grandchildren and they provide me with more joy and heart tugs than my hubby ever did but they have not vowed their lives to me so hubby gets the happy meal and babies get the toy from the happy meal
