Rip Snorter Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Yup! My Wife is pushing the kids for Grandchildren. When Grownup kids with extra dogs are visiting, that burns up most of my energy. Add Rug Rats and I'm done for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Springfield Slim SASS #24733 Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 I plan on it. Been getting to sore to run anymore, so been taking long hard hikes in the neighboring foothills with the dog. Not on any medications yet, hope to keep not needing any. Been trying to get my weight below 200(I am 6'2" tall). Hope my kids don't wait as long as I did to have kids! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldest grandchild is just 16. I had just turned 17 when mine was born, too early by anybodies standards. Then I did not get to watch him grow up. I met my son when he was 45. Sad story with a happy ending. Imis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waxahachie Kid #17017 L Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 There is an old saying: "Grandparents, and grandkids, have a common enemy". (parents) I can personally verify that old saying to be true. My son can't get it through his head that my job is to SPOIL my grandson, where appropriate. My grand-dad was letting me drive his 8N Ford tractor, when I was 4. I would sit in his lap (I could not reach the peddles) and drive/steer his pickup, down the farm-to-market road, as we drove to the country church, on Sunday. I was shooting his bolt action .22 when I was 4. He gave me a big bag of fireworks, every Christmas, and 4th of July. My folks would never have allowed me to do those things. Mom was not a large woman, but had she seen all that, she, likely, would have had a cow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michigan Slim Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 We had my grandson this past weekend. He's a good kid but, damn he's busy! Be three in May. Got him to tell my wife that "Us guys are going to the Man Roooom". Funny as heck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Gauntlet , SASS 60619 Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 We had 3 kids by 22 and two more by 28, so one payoff has been in grandkids. We had 6 of those by age 50; 12 total now. We're 74 and just had our first great-grand; with two more on the way. It's strange to consider that you have a daughter who's a grandma! Of our 12 grandkids, seven are in their twenties; three married. It's amazing when even your grandchildren become adults.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Widder, SASS #59054 Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 We only have 1 daughter. She was born VERY YOUNG. Matter of fact, she was so young that it took her a year to reach the age of ONE. ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bgavin Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 There is a perverse sense of enjoyment/revenge in taking the grand kids for the day, loading them up with sugar, and sending them back home with a drum kit. As my granddad did for me, I now take #6 (age 5) to Dennys every Sunday morning. Same as for me back then, we have a regular waitress who smiles and asks us, "the usual?" Instead of a comic book in my time, #6 gets to play the kids One Armed Bandit (the claw machine) to see if he can pick up a prize. I am hopeful he will remember this, as much as I remember when it was my time back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
