Grandparents are known for spoiling their grandchildren. For the most part, I don’t think that it’s “spoiling” per se as much as being adults that love the child without having to be as rules-conscious. I think you also have to factor in the grandparents’ memories of their own child at the same age and watching for echoes in the next generation. But great-grandparents are just that much more special. They have the memories of the relaxed-rules relationship with the child’s parents, many years to know that “this too shall pass” is the survival motto for parents with children but, more importantly, that we need to stop and enjoy our children. Reid is so lucky to have Grandmama in her life. As are Ken and I, of course.
