Do you have more patience with your grandchildren than you ever did with your own kids when they were young?

Patience I have the same amount of patience I have now as I did back then. I enjoyed watching my daughter grow up just as much as do my granddaughter . It's just that the years goes by so fast and they leave so many good memories..

Yes! A lot more patience. When our children were young, we had to worry about providing for their needs.

All of the responsibility that comes with being a parent is a full-time job. We did take the kids places, and have special outings and vacations, but a lot of extra work went into raising them. We had the responsibility of teaching them right from wrong, getting them off to school, making sure they do their homework, taking care of them when sick, etc.Our children never really lacked for anything, but I don't think we had the patience with them that we do with our grandchildren.

When the grandchildren come, I spoil them rotten. I let them eat what they want to. I wouldn't have let my kids eat candy right before dinner.

LOL I think we can be more relaxed with our grandchildren because we don't have the responsibility of raising them. Our job is to spoil them. Plus, I think we kind of mellow out with age and realize how important family really is, and they make us feel younger.

We can laugh at things our grandchildren do that would not have been funny if it were our kids. As an example, my granddaughter scribbled all over her face with a permanent marker. Her mother was really upset about it, but all I could do was laugh.

Yes..... Yes with my younger boys than my older ones and definitely with my granddaughter. When I took my second son to his 14th year old check-up, and told him (my sons pediatrician) I was pregnant, he said you will make an even better mother at 40 than you were at 20. I thought I was a very good mother at 21 & 25.

But definitely I was even better at 39 & 40! Much more patience, yes! And now have a much different list of priority than I did too!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
