I will start. I am a granny of three grandkids and granny is what they call me.

1. Grandparents are always up for adventure.

2. We know lots of stories and some of which may be true.

3. We are not afraid to be silly.

4. We knew our grandkids parents when they were young. Have some interesting stories to tell.

5. We make the best audiences.

Now let me see how many can add to this list. There are many reasons why grandkids love their grandparents. So tell me some more reasons if you will?

well, here in the Phillipines, when you ask a grand parent that question they will answer you that they love their grandchild because they wanted to do all the things they missed doing on their kids when they were still young, so i guess, grandkids love their grand parents so much because they can feel all the love and attention fom them. my mom married at the young age so she has to work overtime for us, so i got all the attention from my grandmom, and she's so cool, she always give me snacks and treats and surprises, and rewards from getting high grades from school;)

I agree with you. The sad thing is here in the United States people have to move around and so the grandparent is not always able to be around the grandchild as much as they would like.

I am Gramma to five. More reasons: We seem to have more patience for them. We don't get mad as often. We are always delighted to see them and to be with them. We teach them new things. We take them places their parents don't. We stay as long as they want to.


myLot reputation of 99/100. sunshinelady (5509)   ranked 53 out of 28,991 in life  4 months ago

Good reasons. And oh so true. I am a granny to three and love being around them. When they are over we do all kind of things together.

My list would be #1 they think Granma can still punish their parents #2 Granma is always up for hugs and kisses (NO MATTER WHAT) #3 Granma can be 'mean' but still loves them even when their naughty (Granma dools out a lot of time outs)


myLot reputation of 99/100. sunshinelady (5509)   ranked 53 out of 28,991 in life  4 months ago

Hi Faith,
I like the ones you listed. Espeically the one about punishing them but still loving them. Good reasons, Faith.


myLot reputation of 98/100. byfaithonly (5703)   ranked 30 out of 28,991 in life  4 months ago

I know that is a really big one with my 2 grandkids that have spending time here - sometimes it seems like they spend half the day in time out or going without special treats but yet they scream, cry, and even hide when they know their parents are coming. Oh they get mad and call me 'mean' but they also know when the punishment is over I'm going to show them how much I love them - hugs, kisses, or even just holding them.

I think the grandkids and grandparents think more alike. They are more carefree and have less worries and they are both not afraid to make fools of themselves while enjoying life.


myLot reputation of 99/100. sunshinelady (5509)   ranked 53 out of 28,991 in life  4 months ago

Hi gberlin,
I think you are right. When my grandkids are over I have fun with them and don't worry about making a fool of myself.

Besides all of the reasons you already have mentioned. And I must admit they are darn good reason indeed. The main reason why grandkids love grandparents is because they are the only people they know who can get away with telling their mom and dad off when they do something stupid or wrong in some way.


myLot reputation of 99/100. sunshinelady (5509)   ranked 53 out of 28,991 in life  4 months ago

Hi eeyore39,
I must admit that you are right. And the grandkids love it when they see this done.

I am not yet a grandparent. And as of the moment have not
been close to a grandparent. But in my childhood days I have
been close to them.

I think grandparents have more time than their parents have.
Grandparents can spend more quality time with their
grandkids and that is why they are loved.

Have a nice day!happy


myLot reputation of 99/100. sunshinelady (5509)   ranked 53 out of 28,991 in life  4 months ago

I think you are right. Grandparents do have the time to spend with their grandkids. Another good reason.
