Grandparents, would you say you feel as if your role as a parent didn't end just because your kid had kids of their own?

Role as a parent never ends. Not for me. I still worry and try to help my kids as much as possible. Even though are adults. My grandson, that's a special relationship. I wouldn't say I'm more loyal. I think my loyalty is equal. With that said. It's very special seeing and knowing the child of your child. Its a bond that is special.

My mom said she treats my kids the way she wish she would have treated me but she was immature and wasn’t able to stand up to my dad. I dunno. I don’t give my mother a lot of access to my kids because of how I grew up. She says she is not the same and my kids do worship the ground she walks on but it’s complicated. Family is very complicated

Of course it doesnt. You want your kids to be able to give their kids the best (according to you) Also, grandkids are great, being the kids you dont have to say "No" to..😷

My kid sees it as someone who they can go to when I say no.

My mum became more of the parent I needed when I had a child.

To be fair, Im not a grand mother, but im in no race, nor am overly keen to become one.
(Not that i would mind)

Ive done my time caring for everyone else.

I want to be a grandmother.
