Promoted to be the sole adult (?) in the house with the two #grandchildren
Mrs Mike has been called out to her #volunteering job.
It's a bit of a pity that mum is due to be collecting them soon or we could get up to some silly stuffs.
That's the thing about being a #grandparent - you can do the ridiculous things with a clear conscience

I’m so happy for my son and his wife and I’m so excited about meeting my first grandchild later this year! ❤️🫃

Fortunately I had plans to play games with friends with a sleep over and I'm glad I did that. I'm pretty exhausted still. Not sure how to feel about things. I wasn't super close but she was the only grandparent that had anything to do with me as an adult. I am glad she got to meet my husband and she was accepting of me and loved me. #lovelost #remembered #grandparent

Apparently The Boy found a small ball at the party and spent much of his time kicking it and running after it and kicking it again.
As a result, his mama signed him up for #football when they got home. He starts a three week trial (!) on 6th May. He isn’t even two yet!
As a responsible #grandparent with unrestricted access to #Vinted, I have of course since made sure he’ll be suitably attired. 😁

I want to focus on the happiness in this photo, and wish doing so wasn’t such a struggle. #HappyPeople #grandparent #smiles

It's great being a #grandparent but we've got so much going on at the moment, plus, it's a longish drive to see them.

Head cold then stomach bug (last week!).
Next up… eye infection! A gift from the middle one.

“Grandparents pass on traditional beliefs, stories, songs and a sense of history. More prosaically, they bring an extra pair of hands. That helps both parents and children.”

Yet, I just learned today that he was raised by illiterate parents.
I have never had more respect and admiration for him- the fact that he stayed in school until the 8th grade and learned to read and write, despite having zero support at home and undiagnosed ADHD.

I don’t have parents or grandparents anymore so, if you do, can you please reach out to them and spend some time with them? This also goes for any older person you know. I would do anything to have mine here and it pains me to think that yours might be sitting there all alone. #Parent #Grandparent #Love #lonliness #Family

63 followers · 81 posts · Server mastodon.xyzSo I suppose I should toot an #introduction. I teach #media at the #universityofwestminster. I’m a #PhD dropout (#Lacan and public opinion). I’m always learning how to look after my #mentalhealth and beat my #depression. The best thing I’ve done recently is become a #grandparent. #Music has become more important to me with every passing year. I am simultaneously terrified by and angry about #climatebreakdown. We must stop #capitalism before it stops all of us. Oh, and #dogs are magical.

I love being a #grandparent, enjoy #trailrunning, #backpacking, #camping, and #swimming while trying to get back into #BJJ (schedule conflicts). Used to be an avid road biker but it is just too dangerous (for me) in #NorthCarolina.
#Baking, #cooking, especially #vegetarian. Transitioning my little area of the world to #nativeplants
