Grandparenting

Without grandparents we wouldn't have learn much in our life. They are the role models for the future generation.

Does anyone else miss their grandmother? I miss my Grandma. And my countryside childhood, among other things. City life can never compare to the countryside. This post is in the memory of my late grandmother.

To be parented by someone who lets you breathe

Being a good grandmother goes beyond just showering your grandkids with love and gifts. It's about building a strong bond with them and being a positive influence in their lives.

Are you a grandparent? Having once been a parent yourself, you know there is no "right" or "wrong" parenting style. You know different styles work for different kids. You know you were not a perfect parent. You must also know then that, while parenting is tough, grandparenting doesn't have to be.

Reflecting on my childhood and current life

Born in 1906, my grandad, Frank Trigg, was an enterprising young man who ran his own upholstery business from his early 20s until he retired in his 70s, surviving childhood illness and two world wars.

We were foster parents to six of our grandchildren for 3 years. The last one left in 2019 and we moved to Florida for 3 years. We are back now, and are getting to have visits with 9 of our 11, grandchildren.They call me, "Mim", short for Mimzy.

My grandma Ivy Trigg (nee Garnham) grew up in Yorkshire, in the UK, in the early 1900s, in a district where families were so poor that children were often barefoot in the street.

In honoring my grandmother’s eternal spirit and 77 years of life, I share a letter I wrote to her in 1989 and a tribute I wrote and read for her home-going celebration in 1991.

I had two colorful Grandfathers. An oil man and a poultry man.

Is it true? Do we really turn into our parents once we have kids of our own? I didn’t think so raising my children. However, raising my grandchildren I catch myself uttering, “Turn down that noise!” “Don’t waste your food, there are starving kids in the world!” Parenting is not easy!

Filipino Grandmothers are called Lola. They are the sweetest and most loving people in the world. I miss my grandma and I share this article to my nieces and nephews that were not able to see her and experience her presence.

As a grandparent raising a grandchild, I can truly say that hindsight is 20/20. This article explores words of wisdom I'd share with my younger self to help her along this journey called life.

Today's grandmas are different and contribute actively to a family's lifestyle. Share this delightful story of how this grandma demonstrates that she can do more than bake cookies. Adventures abound as she dances, played video games with the kids, and going to zumba classes.

The "grandparent scam" is becoming more sophisticated because the thieves now use social media to get personal information. Be suspicious if you're asked to wire money to a "loved one" in trouble.

This poem is written in loving memory of my dearest Grandfather. He was just like my friend. I felt sometimes that i am lost in the memories which he gave me. He was such a kind-hearted, sincere and full of life person.

My grandchildren love making faces. Some of them go all out to dramatize their feelings or just give me a laugh. Others do not really have to make a face to be funny. Still there are some that are pretty no matter what face they make!

"Just when you think you know what love is, along come the grandchildren." It was not in the game plan, but necessity is truly the mother of THIS invention called grand-parenting.
