I know what happened to my body when I gave birth to my daughter, I was there. My life changed dramatically. But what the heck happened to my parents!!!!
My mother who I thought was the wicked witch, is now a sweet loving grandma, or as my daughter calls her "Ga-Ga". I don't know what happened to this woman, or her house for that matter.
When I was growing up, toys are to be kept in your room, and they'd better have been nice & neat, or she came in there with a garbage bag and thru your crap out! Now...my daughter has toys and junk in every square inch of the house, and my mother doesn't say a word, they just walk around them!
Sweets, candy, cookies, ice cream....those were special treats or for your birthday when I was a kid. You wanted a snack, well here's a carrot for ya! Now the drawers and cabinets are stocked full of goodies, and my daughter can have them whenever she wants, 5 minutes before dinner, sure go ahead, have 2 cookies! WHAT THE HECK!
And my dad, he's a whole other story, here is a 60 year old man and gets down on his hands and knees and crawls around with my daughter around the kitchen table. 20 years ago, this man barely made it to the couch to pass out after work! I have no idea what happened to him either.
Here is what I know, I know that when I was little my grandparents all spoiled the heck out of me, and now my daughter is getting spoiled. I hope she has the great memories of her grandparents that I do of mine.
