Grandchildren- That Special Bond
 

I know that quite a few of us are proud grandparents and I wanted to start a thread to brag, share, enjoy our precious grandkids.

Sometimes my son gives me a funny look when we're all together. I wonder if he ever gets a little jealous at the bond/connection Mia and I have. Sometimes I think I love her more or maybe my ability of love has grown as I've gotten older. Still there is no doubt that the bond with our grandchildren is uniquely special.

One of my favorite things is when she is laying on my chest sleeping, eating or just talking to me as she's slipping off to sleep.

OMG that is a large lot! I look forward to seeing them. I see your announcement on FB. Didn't you have two within the year?

Oh she is gifted, for sure. Little things I pick up on. She can now feel me enter the room before iI even say anything. We stare deeply into each others eyes. Its amazing.

I guess I will do one at a time on here..lol

That's a lot of youngins Lady Pamela! Holy cows! But you have a wonderful family, lots of love and it all extends from you. I love my family and would be lost with them.

Below a pic of Mia the fairy princess for hallows.

oh, all the pictures are wonderful! I will need to look into how to post things here.

I am currently a Grandma to 12, and a Great-Grandma to 3. My youngest son (who turns 36 today!), is expecting his first child, a girl who will be named Isabella Rose, in March. His soon-to-be wife already has 5 children, so I will actually have 18 grandchildren soon!

I do have to say, I look mah-velous for someone with that many younguns! LOL

host your pics at photobucket.com and its pretty easy to copy the link and post here. If you need help let me know

New grandbaby
 

This is my new grandson
~*~ Pantera ~*~

Born to my oldest daughter Nichole.

Done
 

You beautiful grandmothers just thrill me! You gave your hearts and raised such awesome children and now reap the rewards of having these beautiful grandbabies! Bless you all in abundance....let the love continue!

...

"Abuela" to 3 here: almost-17, 6.5, and, newborn, all born to my ex's dd and 3 different babydaddies, all druggies with significant criminal histories.

The eldest lived with us on and off for most of her life, and full time for the last couple of years after her momism her job and apartment due to her pain pill addiction. She's a beautiful petite energetic young woman who is a cheerleader and soccer player. So far at least she has responded to her mom's issues by staying very clear (by HER choice) from alcohol, drugs and sex. She and I have always had an arm's length relationship, both because her mom had huge issues with me and my ex's indulgence when I tried to have expectations of her such as chores and homework before texting and tv! I'm thrilled that we have finally bonded over something - we're both roller derby freaks

The 6yo is my heart. I've raised her as her primary parent since she was 20m but when the ex finally moves out next month, all the kids will go with her - I have zero legal rights. She has shown a strong preference for boy thing since she was 18m old and has rejected all girl thing since she was 3 and talks to me all the time about that she's really a boy. Her mom and my ex (grandmom/guardian) have huge issues with it and try to push her towards girl stuff, even though my ex is a TG butch.

The new baby was born July 29 at just 3.5lbs and addicted to methadone.

So... Not your typical grandma story.
