I definitely haven't learned toleration and patience, but the grandchildren certainly get away with murder. The wee ones can twist me round their wee finger, and the bigger girls can, too.

Lisa Cuddy Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 My dad taught my kids how to use fire extinguishers. Their other grandad taught them to vote SNP, vote yes, never vote Tory and that Trump is an idiot. I think they'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacksgranda Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 It's worth living long enough just to see your children trying to cope with their children, while you sit idly by with a smug smile on your face. I still don't know how one of my step daughters has the brass neck to discipline her children after the antics she did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Growl3th Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 It is in every grandfather's remit to show and teach the thumb trick. If you don't then you have completely failed in your role.
