As a Grandmother I am now able to spend more time with the grandchildren. I do not have to work either. I can spoil them rotten and then send them home to mommy and daddy. As we grow older we also have more patience. I love my children as much as I always have. I don't feel that I love my grandchildren any more. My kids are special to me and so are the grandkids. They area part of me.

once you're in seek of for the main suitable way on which thank you to maintain the peace, you're no longer to blame for the grandparents behaviour. you do no longer could desire to faux it by no skill occurred, notwithstanding in the event that they are holidaying 10 minutes out of your place, they for sure have not any attachment on your loved ones. this happens to many families. Throwing the presents on your toddlers is a manner of justifying their existence. by the type, attempting to settle a comfortable concern isn't remedied over a telephone, because of the fact if human beings do unlike what they hear, they're going to slam down the telephone. Face-to-face is usually a thank you to circulate, because you've extra administration over the situation, and the grandparents could be considered of their real hues. toddlers will continuously think of that somebody is super, in the event that they get some thing tangible, notwithstanding by using the time they improve up, the grandparents would be ineffective and long previous. Your tale isn't uncommon, as some grandparents will favour particular toddlers that they've extra into the international. they oftentimes favour somebody who falls throughout them with fake kisses and hugs. examining between the lines, consistent with threat they experience that it is their turn to gallop around in trip mode without being called directly to babysit, or help with foodstuff education in the event that they are at your place. no longer all grandparents are type and loving, with some attempting to squeeze the previous few years into their empty lives, with none actual or emotional attempt.

My mother says she loves both her kids and grandkids equally, but she ENJOYS her grandkids more. They have the time now to enjoy them more (they are retired now) and, they get all the good and none of the bad. For example, they get to come visit and play with them and enjoy them, but aren't dealing with getting up with them at night, dealing with them when they are sick, etc. Its just a different kind of relationship.

As the adage goes, "If I knew grandchildren were this much fun, I would have had them FIRST."
I guess as we age we forget how much we loved our children when they were little. We were involved in the responsibilities of work and child rearing. We paid less attention to their physical and intellectual development. With fewer responsibilities in retirement, we can appreciate grandchildren more fully. I just wish I had a fraction of their energy and enough speed to catch a three year old.

i dont know from a grandparents pov but my son is 7 and my parents treat him better than anyone in the world and yes even better than the way that i was treated as a child. i think the reason why is because they get to send them home at the end of the day.lol. my son is lucky to have such great grandparents...

I don't think you love your children and less, but it might be a different kind of love with your grand-children. I don't have any grand-kids but my mom absolutely LOVES my little girl, she wants her there ALL the time.
