Grandma Says I Can!

I applaud dads for trying- but it is hard to compete with a “mom”- they do know best afterall!

Nothing beats grandma! She doesn’t even have “no” in her vocabulary.

I understand it but do not justify it….and specialy if your beeing boycotted by your sisters-inlaws to have a masive mother’s day!!!
How is your little one going to understand that it’s your day if you are celebrating grandma and aunts?!?

Grandmas do get to spoil the grandkids and drive their parents nuts. This grandma gets the good with the bad. I have no inmy vocab but only when necessary.

My mother is no to bad about spoiling my daughter (of course we live with her so she would have to deal with it too…LOL).

My mom is fabulous with my kids. Unfortunately, she’s hundreds of miles away. I really have nothing to complain about, except maybe her lack of patience. But that was never her strong point, anyway. ;)

Mimi, as the kids call her, is the best! She does sleep overs, has movie night w/ popcorn & treats, and spoils them to pieces! Best part is that she is only 10 minutes away. We are blessed!

Here’s my view: Grandmas house is the FUN PLACE.
My kids don’t get to visit that often so I am more than ok with them eating chocolate cake for breakfast, staying up later and not picking up their own messes at least once every other month or so.
That’s just what you do at grandmas house.
However, they NEVER get away with the “Well, grandma lets me do it.”
They know better!
I’ll tell them that this is NOT grandmas place in a heartbeat.
