Apparently being a grandparent is far more fun than being a parent...
Great! Has anyone found a way of becoming a grandparent without the whole having to have kids of your own thing????? Being a grandparent sounds like fun but this parenting lark sounds a bit too tough to me :rotfl:

Step-grandkids! Guess you could start trawling bingo halls and doctor's waiting rooms if yer up for a bit of granny "grabbing". Imagine, they get a bit more willing at that age too - the ratio of women to men is quite high!0 -

I always found the best thing to get my two to sleep through the night was to take them out in the buggy at about 3pm - fresh air is great for helping them to relax, I'd let them sleep for about 20 mins whilst having a brisk walk round the park then get them home - wake them up - get tea down them and off for a silly half hour of manic playing before bath and bed......The walking will help you to destress too.
