GRANDCHILDREN AND REMEMBERING THEY ARE NOT YOURS







So you have kids, you bring them up the best you can, and then they have kids. You love your grandchildren in a totally different way from your children. You love them and try to maintain a distance because if you let go you stick your nose where it isn't wanted and problem doesn't belong. My oldest grandchild, a girl, just informed me she is getting her lip pierced. Did she think I would yell hurrah? I believe people should do what they think is best for them without judgement from others; yet she is only fifteen and I do feel it isn't the best thing for her to do.


And there is the thing, I am only grandma not mom so I will take my nose out of the whole issue.


Then there is Mikey; he lives with his mom right now and I must say he has changed in ways that I am not sure are good. Yet when he lives with his dad, my son, I don't feel he receives everything he needs to learn and grow into a happy child. Yet there it is again, I am only grandma not mom, not dad, so I will take my nose out of the situation but it will be hard.


Oh yes I do have another grandson, his name is Tyler and he is a whole other story. Then there is sweet Laela the newest granchild. She is a sweetheart who I do not know well enough for my liking.Just for the record no matter what my love for these children of my children will never fade.
