But once we moved out on our own and began our own careers and didn't always make it home for Christmas, I noticed our parents attitude changed. Hope you enjoy this image.

Don’t sweat it! I have a few gray hairs left. I can remember the time I was getting scolded. My father sat me down and said I was going to have kids just like me.

Dad predicted the future, I had two sons and a daughter. All three have given my father plenty of joy and me plenty of sleepless nights and gray hairs.

It's been said, often by me as well to my son.... "The best revenge is being a grandparent!"

You guys must have kept your parents busy 24/7 - just being boys

Saw a car sticker that said, Aren't Grandchildren great, "why didn't we have them first".

We've been through lots of travails with our kids, but wouldn't change a thing. Love each and every one of 'em to death. Now we have four wonderful grandsons!! There's nothing like having your grandkids come to visit and giving you a big hug. Those sayings about grandchildren being revenge on children is only said in jest. I must admit, though, that grandchildren are so much more fun!!! You see them for an afternoon and get all of the joy. However, we do help out quite a bit as well.

You have children and do your best to teach them right from wrong and how to be honorable and trustworthy adults.
No matter how hard you try, I'll be damned if they all don't grow up and become more Relatives!

Worried about the kids, the I worried about the grandkids, now it getting to a point where I’m beginning to worry about the great grandkids. They say life is short. Glad to see them all
