No way could the Grannies stick to their own consequences of no free babysitting, no buying kids' fundraiser items!

@@mrrpggamer2 I can't say that my grandparents actually spoiled me, but I spoil my granddaughter as much as I can. My Nanny, my mom's mother, passed away young. She was only 42, therefore I was the only grand she ever got to see. So when my granddaughter came along, I decided to make our relationship the very best it could be. No regrets. She's my best friend. Well, as much as a 4 year old can be lol. I turn 50 in a month and I cherish every moment with her. I have seven altogether, but she's my only biological one. Plus she is the only one who lives nearby. The others are about seven hours away. The littlest is just seven months old, born only eight days before my husband passed away. The first grandson. He was really looking forward to that baby. So I believe in spoiling them rotten. And never wasting a day when it comes to them. We never know how long we will get with them so I say take pictures, no matter how awful you look. Sing songs, make silly videos, do everything you can to create the very best memories. One day that will be all they have of us. The main thing is, never let them doubt how much they are loved.y grand and I have a thing I started when she was teeny tiny. I would say it to her until she was big enough to talk. Now we ask each other "How much do I love you?". The answer "Way past forever!!!!!" Once I asked her if she knew what they meant and of course she didn't. So you explained that it means no matter what, I will never never never NEVER stop loving you. She's incorporated that into the saying now as well. That is our special thing. And it means the absolute world to me. I know I was loved, and SPOILED, but was too little to remember any of it. This little girl will never forget how special and just how loved she is. At least not if I have anything to do about it! ❤️

The friend warned this gal pretty well, but she was still amazed (and nearly in danger of getting ill ! ) at how much Grandma fed them for lunch. It lasted for about 2 hours, had many, many dishes among the few courses, and at the end she was supposed to also eat a fried egg, and stick around for desert ! It was a hilarious story ( NO offense meant to any Italian mammas and grandma's out there !!! ), and so homey and special, too :) . Seriously tho, a very funny true story !

I love this! The best treats are the ones my granddaughters and I bake together! It is a total pain in the rump, but we gave the best time! And, even if the treat is a flop we set there and eat them as we laugh over them and figure out how to do better next time. Lol

[@rebeccaveasey1603]

Oh, and very seldom does anyone else ever watch my grandchildren, that is strictly my domain! The other grandparents live in Hawaii, so don't get to visit much. They are lovely and we love when they visit.

[@dee-lightt8997]

I know this probably breaks granny protocol but I buy boxed brownie mix and rolls of cookie dough. Hard to mess that up.

Definitely brings back memories of whenever I'd visit my grandma. Every time we grandkids stopped by, she'd always head for the pantry .

[@sleeplesssongbird7625]

I do think the Grandmama's have points, the ladies just want to be involved with the family. Except on the sweets and treats-- that is the one issue I think needs argued further. They really should respect the parents on that one. X'D I know this is just a sketch, but if a parent is telling you they aren't comfortable with something ( I am not one, but even *I* know this) it should be heard and respected as long as they are being fair and responsible.

[@ann07ps49]

I almost died because I succeeded fooling my grandma to buy my forbidden food (I was very sickly as a kid hence the strict diet) but she still gave me anything I asked, well, mostly..Miss her very much

[@qqq1q1qqqqqqq]

Well, I gave my infant (not newborn) granddaughter her first taste of I've cream. Most grandparents try to respect the parents on the big stuff. But it is a long known fact that the purpose of a grandparent is to spoil the grandkids rotten and send them home hyped up on sugar. Not to mention the money we give them. Letting them stay up past bedtime is a God given right entitled to us by the Grandparents Creed from 3000 BC. Most grandparents want what's best for their grandchildren and aren't going to do anything harmful to them. So if we sneak them some Oreos or let them skip eating their vegetables, that's ok. One day when you're a grandparent, you'll understand. I mean, it's not like the majority of us are gonna ask little Billy and Susie to play Quarters with us or to bring their own beer bong. Even for the younger generation of grandparents, hot chocolate and some cookies at storytime is a big thing.

[@sleeplesssongbird7625]

@@qqq1q1qqqqqqq As amusing as that is, I'm child free by choice so unless a future partner absolutely wants a rugrat, no grand babies for me. 🤷‍♀️ What happens though if the grandchild has a medical condition? Does the responsible party for providing so many treats get a pass or do they have to admit they messed up if the child's condition worsens? I'm asking more just to understand perspective.

[@sleeplesssongbird7625]

@@ann07ps49 I was in a similiar circumstance as a kid, although I had the opposite experience. My gran would try to force me to eat things I could not have because she wanted the chance to spoil me, and I had to tell her no. She was disappointed, but we had a good relationship overall I think. 😌

[@qqq1q1qqqqqqq]

@@sleeplesssongbird7625 As I stated, when it comes to the big stuff, it's different. And any grandparent worth being called a grandparent wouldn't purposefully do anything that would harm the child/ren. That goes without saying. We are talking about staying up late, giving extra/different treats/snacks. Obviously if a child has a peanut allergy you wouldn't give them peanut brittle or pb&j sandwiches. If a kid has a corn allergy you would never knowingly give them corn. If they think the bleach bottle is pretty, you don't allow them to drink from it. You put it out of their sight and reach. Common sense GAS to come into play. But ask any grandparent who enjoys being a grandparent and see if they don't say it's their God given right to spoil the grands!!! It's what we do. There's one good reason for it, too. Typically you are at a better place in your own life once grands come along. I know I can afford to spoil my granddaughter because I'm not raising four kids right now. We can usually do more because we have more than when our kids were little. There is something incomparable about the love of and relationship with a grandchild. I never understood it until I had one. It truly is a totally different kind of love. (And who knows, maybe a future partner might already have some kids, so grands aren't necessarily a non thing.) When I was a teenager I used to joke if there was a way to have grands without having a kids I was all for it. It's actually a lot more possible than I realized. But I wouldn't trade my relationship with my granddaughter for anything in this world.

[@pamelamays4186]

I had two Southern grandmas when I lived in Pittsburgh. And yes, I got lots of treats. Candy, ice cream, soda pop. When my parents came to pick me up, I didn't want to leave. I was like, "I wanna live with Grandma!"

[@rangerlove7]

So glad my mother in law doesn’t feel that way about texts. If she did she’d probably never hear from either of her sons. Both of them do pick up on the rare occasions she calls though.

[@rebeccaveasey1603]

My Mom would remind my Dad, I reminded my husband (when had one) and my brother (his wife also reminds him) to call his mother on her birthday, holidays, and at lest every other week. It's one of those thing in the fine print of the marriage license (like the husband keeping his wife's feet warm at night and taking out the trash) the wife becomes the husband's social security and carries his wallet and keys in her purse when he has to do something and can't hang onto them for a time.

[@OrlaQuirk]

That's when you send the kids to Gran's house for a few days for a vacation. We rarely went on a way vacations when I was a child, but we were frequently sent for stays with my grandma, who lived in the same town.Often these stays were one child at a time. It gave each of us special Grandma-time, and and it didn't tire my grandmother out.

[@TiredMomma]

😂 The bank of Gramma I only had 1 step grandmother during my teen & early adult yrs. When she passed, my step mother and her family decided I wasn't a close family member, so I wasn't invited to her funeral. So I don't know what it's like to have a grandmother who cooked pies and such but sometimes she had made some type of whipped egg form cookie things. I've never seen them since but I loved having one, once a year. If I live long enough to be one, I'd love to cook if I'm still able to walk, but I wouldn't be giving any sweets, except pudding, jello, brownies or cookies. Does sweet honey cornbread count as a treat?

Neither my grandmom, great aunts, nor my mother were sweets dispensers. They did all kinds of great stuff with kids -- day trips, museum visits, fishing, gardening, looking at stuff with a microscope, letting the kids play with their animals. Imagine my surprise when the other grandmother was stuffing the kids full of sugar. I was like, what the hell?! People actually do this to kids?

@@galamander_1327 no. It is a myth. Children generally have high energy and if they get compulsive......well,thats why there is an adult to manage the situation isn't there? All over the world, past and present children have been introduced to sugary treats, yet only countries like America and the UK seem to be having issues with obesity. I'd say fast food has a morr negative effect on obesity than sweets. What sets a child up for a life of healthy eating is what they eat most of the time and not the occasion sweets they get from grandma/pa.

And in my experience, the older people whom I was referring to as "sweets dispensers" weren't exercising any moderation. Yet their behavior was dismissed as "okay because that's what grandparents do". I found that shocking. It wasn't my culture. That is all. Edited to add: sure, kids have "high energy" as you say. So do I, still, as an adult. What of it?

@@galamander_1327 it is rude to call grandparents who are trying to treat their grandchildren "sweets dispensers", it is rude to make a false assertion that children get sugar highs, as it has been scientifically debunked.

It is rude to assert that these families are knowingly and maliciously giving their children diabetes etc. Your comments are filled with not so nice things about people that have had a different experience to you, yet you have the Affronty to play victim?.......lmao.
