Robert I'm sure when the time comes the new parents will be fine, it can be a little daunting being a grandparent at first but if you make sure you're there if they need help or advice, but don't try telling them what to do or how to bring up their child you'll find everything will work out just fine.

Good luck.:thumbsup:

Sounds like solid advice Joan, from years of experience. So you would say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger? ;)

Also, my kids stopped listening to me years ago, so I don't try to tell them anything anymore. Every once in a a while one will visit and say: "You know Dad, what you said all those years ago was right, after all" and I can smile.

I have found each copes with life according to what resources there are within. I may not like something they do, or agree with a decision made, but nothing will keep me from loving my children. So I support as best as I can.

Cheers!
Robert

I am telling you, put your money on North Korea...
I have considered that, but got away from at.
I think Mexico is going all the way, together with Uruguay maybe.
I will for sure be betting money on Mexico's next game :)
 
So far I'm set to win £200/$300 from my score predictometer we're doing at work, that's not bad considering we actually haven't rigged any matches (yet ;)).

Today I learned to combine all my catch up posts here. I'm at work when you all are posting. Usually go back to last page I saw, and reply to posts as I work back to present. My thanks and apologies to whatever mod has been forced to combine my posts.

Today ... the Wife and I will have been married 37 years ... to each other even!

AND ... sometime around November ... we will become Grandparents as well. :)
Congrats Robert, and we should congratulate your wife too :thumbsup:

Today I got my first Gold Blob (Gold Blob) :D.

Oli

Congrats on the gold blob, seems so far off, I know you've worked for it. I tend to help the newbies, they Rep me, but have no power :) But the thanks are badges I can wear personally.
