grand parent hood

[smiley]

Just become a granny, little baby girl 8lb. Not so excited about the news though stupid son phoned us at 3.30 this morning. Clearly time had no relevance, Needless to say I was grumpy this morning.

I never even woke up in the night whilst I was having mine, so I don't see why I should be happy being woken up this morning, Grrrrrrrrrrrr.

 

[emmerson2]

Smiley, you are joking, of course? When my grandson was born, my son-in-law phoned at 2.00am, cos he knew he'd have been in trouble if he hadn't! We were in the hospital by 4.00am. Don't be so grumpy, just enjoy!

 

[Auvergne]

Not sure if retirement is as attractive as it appears. God forbid I should ever be so bored as to sit on a caravan forum thinking up windups, (and cr*p ones to boot), you need to get out more smiley and get yourself a life.

 

[Rita1]

Canna please some people bet if they had not phoned that would have been wrong as well

My dau rang in the early hours of the morn to tell me i was a granny and 1st thing she did when she got home was phone again to say get on computer if you wanna see your G'son and that was early hours morn as well as they live in new zealand (me uk)

I was outta bed n comp on double quick lol

think smiley missed name

I do fond smiley's post a little strange. She has been posting on this forum a long time now although not on a regular basis. I would have thought any parent whose child had become a parent themselves would be pleased to know irrespective of the time.

Her comment of "I never even woke up in the night whilst I was having mine" shows that it is all a fallacy, put about by the fair sex, that they are in excrutiating pain whilst in childbirth and that us men wouldn't know how to cope ;O)

If smiley can give birth without waking what more proof do we need :O)

Of course men would apply more logic Lord Brokenwhip oops sorry....... Brckenberry..... no no Lord F*****r.

All we needed to do was to write down the number of the taxi firm, if it happened in the middle of the night, to take them off to do the business. Of course we were considerate and wrote it in big letters so that they wouldn't need to put the light on to read it and wake us up.

Ummmm, can you try again, only in English this time :O)

Hmmm, I think I put that across a bit wrong.

It's not my first grandchild, for the first one ( dauhter No 1)we took over the daddys waiting room, me, hubby, daughter No 2, my son and wife (girlfriend at the time and who are the new parents of the other night)

Son and daughter live over wittering, so can't just jump in the car.

I will be exstatic when I see the little darling.

But I am well known to my family that once asleep not even thunder wakes me.

What I meant about sleeping through the night refers to when I was carrying my little darlings (that once was)! I slept every night without a murmur.

Don't give me grief I get alot of my siblings (especially my 2 older sisters)as I am the baby of the my family and the only grandparent. None of their off spring have produced. But I think their kids are getting a bit past it now, their all older than my kids.

You have a good memory LB, I do watch and read posts but not as much as I would like. Its been quite quiet recently, but I put that to people being on their hols.

enough waffling for oe night.

 

[Lord Braykewynde]

Thanks for clearing that up smiley :O) I did think it was out of character. It's not always easy to get across what you mean in a forum although icons would have helped. Even reading back what we posted doesn't mean someone else will interpret it the same.

I thought you'd been sharing Reg's waccy baccy ... heh! heh! heh!

 

[Dustydog]

I became a grandad last july and haven't seen baby William because I didn't go to my daughter's wedding. She didn't want my wife of 20 years there.

Tough luck and sad perhaps but as the saying goes, every dog has his day.

The door's open and I am sure as he gets older our William will want to taste the delights of caravanning.

For now we carry on as usual and look forward to our next cl braek in North Devon, next week. Only because my old mum isn't too chipper.

Cheers

Alan

Wow Alan, how did you manage to trade your wife in for a 20 year old model :O) there's hope for me yet then ... heh! heh! heh!

Seriously there's not many families without problems. Our eldest son decided, only for reasons known to him, that he didn't want anything to do with the rest of the family. I respect his wish although it is harder for his mother, the one who gave birth to him, to accept. Our other two kids have been no problem to us and they both live local with their respective families.

No doubt if when we pop our clogs he'll come looking for his share but it will be tough, I've had him taken out of our will.

I've told Her Ladyship that if I go first and he comes scurrying back for his pickings not to give him anything and if she does I will come back and haunt her ... heh! heh! heh!

Hi LB

Wife no 2 was 27 when I married her, sorry I exagerated her youth!! HA HA . Well she was 47 this week and I'm still the main cook. I must be doing something wrong??

As for kids, stuff them. They had their chance and I can assure everyone my Will is very specific who DOES NOT get anything. That's simpler than saying who does.

We're have a caravan clean up weekend , hard work but worth it.

Cheers

Alan

LB

I meant to say how hard it must be for your beloved to be shunned by her son. My ex wife divorced me for another bloke. That didn't work out so she tried to have me back! I'd already resettled with someone else and wasn't interested. She then spat venom at me resulting in what the Docs call "Parental Alienation".

The ex, the old bag, even walked my daughter down the ailse. Even if I had turned up she would still have done it.

So I and Terri get on with our lives, happily with our two Springers. My son sees us regularly.

Nil illegitimae terram carborundum.

Don't let the ba$tard$ grind you down.

Cheers

Lord B

Wacky Baccy?

Never tried it meself.

Is it any good for wind or indigestion? ;-)

Only four pints of Guiness makes me fa....... a lot and inside a caravan it's not so good!

I became a Grandad again last week and Chris gave our son a couple of simple rules as we approached the crucial day - To be advised of arrival at any time but not to telephone of start of Labour if between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. ( I get up at 4:15 to go to work) As it happens as a young lady was overdue putting in an appearance the arrival was by a planned Ceasariarian of a civilised morning time.

 

[smiley]

Can someone remind me how to get a picture on the reply page?

Have seen little Evie, ahhhh, go all the women at work, the men don't!!!

Some sad stories here.

But I do have sympathy for Lord Brakewynde's eldest.

Inheriting the title and living up to his old mans reputation plus taking responsibility for the families vast estates and the thought of servicing of milk maids and under stairs staff probably over whelmed the poor lad.

So who does the title go to when you pop your clogs LB, can you just bypass the eldest son?

[trucker]

I was the very first in our familys history to be devorced, my mun didnt speak to me for well over 6 months. My dad used to phone me from work. She soon forgave me.

Alan said his first wife left him for another bloke, well my brothers wife left him for another woman, what a kick in the teeth that was after 3 kids and 10 years of marrage.
