[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a devoted grandmother myself and my middle grandson looks exactly like my daughter when she was a baby.  I have to admit that I did sometimes get pangs when looking at him when he was a baby thinking about my own time as a new mom holding my baby girl.

It wouldn’t keep me from my grandkids but a powerful resemblance is a little painful.  [/quote]

Wow!  I am a grandmother and this is disturbing to read.  [/quote]

Why?  It doesn’t keep me from being involved or loving him.  Just imagine someone handing you a baby that looked exactly like your child when she was a baby.  I mean - exactly.  It floods you with memories and longings.  [/quote]

It’s not about you!!  I cannot imagine what goes through your head. One of my grandchildren looks just like my child (this even feels bazaar to type) and I feel JOY.  PURE JOY. I feel joyful that my child will experience such joy.  Memories and longings….you have been given the gift of making memories as a grandmother. Is there anything better?  Longings.  Pick up that baby and feel that love. [/quote]

We’re different, PP.  Please stop being such a judge mental grandmother because I didn’t feel exactly as you did.  Let people here and in real life express their honest feelings please.  [/quote]

+1. Ignore JOY grandma, PP.  I actually always feel sorry for older people who can only accept positive feelings.  It will not be good for her grandchildren.  [/quote]
