    How do you know they were grandparents - were they wearing a badge? Really judgemental OP.

    "How do you know they were grandparents - were they wearing a badge? Really judgemental OP. "

    Ha ha, as an older mother myself with my last child, I can relate to this, as I often heard reference to 'your nanna' when others were referring to me! I was slightly offended back then, lol.
    However I have now committed that offence myself when referring to a child's 'granddad' who turned out to be her father, so now I always err on the side of caution and assume people are younger or a slot below what they first appear and keep in their good books :)
    regards
