Our children are grown up but we have no grandchildren as yet.....so we've got that to look forward to. When the kids were young we had a VW camper van, which was great because the children's seats were right in the back, a very long way from us. They could fight and scream and we were largely able to ignore it.
We have 3 grandchildren and we are loving this stage of our lives with them. The best thing with grandchildren is that when we need a break at the end of a long day they go back to their house
but soon after, I want them back in the house with us. We are very much hands on grandparents
at least with two of them, the other one lives in London.
The eldest one just started school so it has been very exciting times for all of us. Interesting to see new parents behaviour when living their kids for the first time at school
we have been there and done that a few times before so we were totally relaxed. The Bournemouth FC manager was there dropping his child off too..... the last time I saw him in the flesh was when he was just a teenager and we were watching his brother and my son play a youth cup final
..... and yesterday, for Reuben's first church activity, we saw an old neighbour with his grandchild..... the last time we saw him, neither of us had grandchildren
I want some more grandchildren lol
