[quote=Anonymous]I don't know about a special bond, but there is a diminishing excitement level. DC was #1 on my side and #10 on DH's side. My parents ended up have four and bonded a bit with each at various times. DH's parents never developed any bond, they were burned out from the first 9. Timing can be important. It ended up ok, they all have passed away now and their passing was easier for my children to take. It is sad that at 19 and 17 my children have no living grandparents (all four were living when they were born as well as one great-grand mother). I think sometimes a special bond does develop between a grand parent and one of their grandchildren. Timing, age, personality..... I think it is special and wonderful. It shouldn't have to be exactly the same with each, just as a uncle or aunt may develop a special bond with a particular niece ore nephew or between two siblings or cousins. [/quote]
