[quote=Anonymous]My brother, cousins (2) and I stayed at my grandparents' house every Friday night, and the 4 of us stayed at each other's house often.  The 10 of us took annual vacations (2 families + grandparents) and neither family ever used a non-relative babysitter either.  They were old school but I think I'd never made my grandma more proud than when I started playing drums in punk bands... she came out to see me once before she got sick and told everyone in the room that that was her granddaughter up there... she was basically amazing.

We kids actually just remembered a "time capsule" we buried about 20 years ago that we dug up and were all sitting in the backyard crying over it, largely because both of those grandparents are gone now (we are still trying to sell their condo).

I think I was around 25 and talking about grandparents when I found out that a lot of people didn't like their grandparents, or had mean or thoughtless ones.  I had no idea that was possible and it made me appreciate and miss mine even more.[/quote]
