I'm at home looking after wife, who's mid MS relapse, and Mini Drago, who had a severe asthma attack.last night for which we had to have the ambo out. I'd quite like the back up of a few grandparents right now!

I'm a supernumerary 'grandfather' to a younger colleague's two daughters. I wind them up to fever pitch then hand them back to their parents. It's brilliant!

 

[Drago]

"Mummy, Unkie Vern is here again, and he's got Coca Cola and M&M's!"

@Drago - got your hands full for sure. Take care

 

[Drago]

Willdo, thanks buddy

 

[Markymark]

Oh yes. I was the uncle who bought the noisy toys....

Yes but parents have ways of getting revenge.

We know the face when a poo is coming and that's when we pass them over for a cuddle.

That's when grandad bounces them on his knee and hands them back for a nappy change

@biggs682 I don't think two grandparents will be enough based on my memory of a 13 month old.

I've got a 10, 5, 3 and (slightly under) 1/4-year-old to myself on Thursday. I'm taking it easy for the next few days - I'll have deserved the rest by Thursday night.

The term "masochist" comes to mind.

I would agree a shift system as soon as possible - 2hrs on, 2hrs off - this will allow appropriate recovery prior to the next effort.

Distribute gels, or haribos, around the house and consume one every 20 mins.

Enjoy

I think this is more masochistic:-
