[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't and never have liked other people's kids even when I had my own. As for how you'll be as a grandma I wouldn't sweat it too much there are all different types of awesome grandparents.[/quote] +1. I'm a current mom of 5yo twins and I very much relate to your post. I'm wound pretty tight and I'm extremely good with certain parts of parenting, and terrible at others (I have anxiety/depression, and probably some attention issues). My mom is and was much the same; she's in the process of moving closer to us and we talked recently about how she feels ill-tuned for this and she was lamenting how bad she's been at it so far -- but it seems to me (and the kids) shd's been great. Grandparent seems to be a role you can fit really well to your own personalty, style, and strengths, so long as you're on the same page with your child/grandchild's parents on the plan (sometimes easier said than done).[/quote]
