grandparents

Becoming a grandparent makes getting older something to look forward to - all the fun of parenting, without the hassle.

I KNOW I'M NOT SENILE
I KNOW I’M NOT SENILE Yet, no one remembers it that way ^^ I remember growing up and hearing many stories from my grandmother.

The Great Hair Emergency of 2026
Spending time with my grandson, Gio, is both reinvigorating and tiresome. This morning, I casually mentioned that we were going for a walk. Apparently, that was merely a suggestion.

The Mother’s Day Gift My Mom Remembered for 20 Years
When I came across this beautiful reminder, it immediately brought back a memory of my mother and a lesson she taught me without even realizing it.

Every Child May Need a Third Adult
There is something unusual about a grandmother's house. The rules are softer there. Dinner arrives at the wrong hour. A story you have already told three times somehow deserves a fourth telling, and the person listening leans in as if hearing it for the first time.

Why I Hate Shannon . Content Warning.
I remember it like it was yesterday, the moment when I lost all respect for Shannon, saw what she was. It was a year or two after my husband's ex-wife had sent their children to us with such a raging lice infestation that I had to wash everything in the house. His daughter's infestation was so bad that we had to cut her hair to get it under control. She had been trying to grow her hair long for over a year. I felt so terrible for her that I had all of my hair cut off, too.

You Can’t Inherit a Network: What The Godfather Gets Right About Power, Loyalty, and the Names in Your Phone
At Vito Corleone’s funeral, men lined up to kiss Michael’s hand. Their lips touched his skin. Their eyes went to the door. Tessio bent low and murmured that he had arranged the meeting with Barzini. Michael nodded. Tessio straightened his coat and walked away. The wind pushed the funeral flowers. The kiss worked like a receipt. It recorded a debt. It did not record love.

Everyone Called Him the Family Failure. He’s the Only One Who Never Left.
The Child Who Didn't Amount to Much Is the One Who Stays by Your Side When Fourth Grandma said those words, my cousin was squatting on the threshold wiping away tears.

The Day an Alpaca Became a Sheep
I have a grandson named Gio, and shopping with him is always an experience. I raised three children of my own, but somehow I don’t remember shopping with them being quite this adventurous. Maybe time has softened those memories! What I’ve recently discovered, though, is that taking a toddler to the mall isn’t simply running an errand — it’s an expedition involving snacks, negotiations, unexpected detours, and at least one moment when you wonder who exactly is in charge. Spoiler alert: it’s the toddler.

Paxton Is a Teenager
Right away I have to say that he may not like the pink cake in the photo. However, the candy and the strawberries would be acceptable. And he did just turn thirteen on Friday, with his birthday dinner with family on Saturday.

Do We Get Sadder As We Age?
Listening to Cari complaining to Lora as they enjoy their latte at Coffee Heaven in their community. “No matter what I do, my grandmother is never happy. What, happiness doesn’t like old people?” Cari complained.

Blame and Shame
I never thought I would ever be ashamed of my daughter. I've seldom been more wrong than I was about this. I've never been more ashamed of anything in my entire life than I currently am of her. What's the cause, aside from the blatant disrespect of her calling me a whore on social media? She convicted me and handed down a mandatory sentence without even listening to my side of the story.
