If you’ve been fortunate enough to have a grandparent who loves you in your life, then you know how special this relationship can be. Maybe they helped take care of you, cheered you on, captivated you with their stories or cracked you up with their wit. And the experience of watching your own parent become a grandparent is an interesting one, too.
On the one hand, it’s touching to see the lengths they’ll go to to make your kids smile. But on the other, it’s frustrating when they continue to spoil them silly, even when you’ve asked them not to again and again. These bonds can lead to a lot of entertaining experiences.

Grandma is taking over. My mom recently told me about one Christmas when I was a toddler, where every time I opened a gift I would whimper “oh..

.” and my grandma leapt up and yelled “I’LL DRIVE!” I told my parents my 3yo cried the other night because we weren’t having steak for dinner so naturally my dad was making steak at 10:30 this morning when we got to their house It’s officially my grandma asking me “where is your coat!” season. Nine yr old bursts in the house from visiting Grandma, finishes up her cookie, takes a swig from her bottle of root beer, burps loudly and starts singing over and over, "Root beer is my life, ya!
