Hey Grumpy OB

My wife's young bloke rang me one night and said "G'day. Got a question for you. How would you feel about being a grandfather?" Well I thought about it for a mo, considered a few of the things you mentioned above, then thought "Hmmm WTF can i do about it"

So I asked him the same question, he responded "not much i spose". He said "What do you think mum will say?" I says "Dunno, I'll hand the fone over n we'll find out".

Well that was more fun than me old man runnin over me sister with the ute!!!!!!

I emphathise with you.

As stevo said there is not much you can do about it, I can remember my father in law saying something similar but he was in his late 40's. Just give them both your love and understanding, there is no point lecturing them or giving them a hard time. Think of the positive at least you can palm off all the baby clothes, toys and paraphenalia onto them once your youngest has outgrown them, plus you can get them to babysit for you, (because they have to get used to it).

Fellas, should we take up a collection to buy granny a jumbo-size "Granny's Brag Book" photo album and a quick draw shoulder holster to carry it around in? Any change could go on a pipe and slippers.

NOt to mention a rocking chair

I've got to say the maths is a bit wild. At least your child and grandchild can grow up together

Whatever the maths are, just live with it................

My first daughter is 33, I am 52, my grandaughter is nearly four, my eldest son is 10, my youngest is 5, the mother of my daughter is 50, the mother of my sons is 39.

My youngest was an uncle at 1 -- work with that one

...................and just ensure you enjoy every min you have with kids and grandkids.
