[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don' have any memory of any of my grandparents playing with me.  When I was a little older I remember going on errands with my grandma and helping my grandpa in the garden and I felt very loved and loved them.  Just because they're not interesting in sitting on the floor with your toddler doesn't mean they don't love them and won't be close when you're a little older.

You have me thinking back on my time with my grandparents and I can't remember my grandma or grandpa playing with me either. Maybe cards or checkers, but they'd never let me win. When I spent the night with my great grandma, we'd always play a board game (aggravation) after dinner. Yet, I absolutely loved hanging out at their houses as a kid. My grandpa always had the tv on, watching news or grown up shows that were incredibly boring. I could chat with him during commercials. When the news came back on I'd run back in the kitchen with grandma and help her by writing down the grocery list as she dictated, or rolling out biscuit dough, or whatever chore she was doing. I'd go on errands with them, garden with them, and I even got to go hunting with grandpa a few times.

We never played with toys. I still have fond memories. [/quote]
