Having kids makes you appreciate your parents in completely new ways, but the most important is as a grandparent to your little one. Here are 8 reasons that grandparents are the greatest, in no particular order.
- Free babysitting (and they love it)
- Amusing and sometimes fantastic gifts
- They find things from your childhood you completely forgot about but still love
- Always happy to give advice (this can be both good and bad)
- Their home becomes the new vacation destination
- They provide important genetic information (although sometimes a bit late: “you had that exact same issue”)
- Your kids get a sense of history
- They think your kids are as awesome as you think they are
