It’s time for a candid chat, parents. As grandparents, we have some truths to share that you might not want to hear.

  1. We Can’t Babysit All the Time: Sure, we adore our grandchildren, maybe even more than we love you (gasp!). But we don’t want to babysit every single day! We’ve done our time raising kids; now it’s your turn.
  2. We Disagree with Your Parenting Choices: When you drop off your kids for free childcare, please don’t bombard us with rules. We’ve raised our share of children and can manage just fine, even if our styles differ.
  3. We Sometimes Pretend to Be Busy: Yes, it’s true. There are days when we just don’t feel like babysitting, and so we might say we’re out of town.
  4. Your Children Are Our Confidants: They share everything with us—your arguments, upcoming additions to the family, and even their feelings about you. We hear it all.
  5. We Indulge Them with Treats: We know you don’t approve of junk food, but sometimes it’s the only way to keep the peace.
  6. We Find Their Mischief Amusing: When they act up, we can’t help but chuckle. This is karma for all those times you gave us a hard time.
  7. We Buy Annoying Gifts on Purpose: Payback can be sweet, and we know that toys that drive you crazy will give us a good laugh.
  8. We Allow Endless Video Game Time: Why? Because the last thing we want to do is play pretend all day long.
  9. We Get Exhausted: We’re much older than you and don’t have the same energy. Sometimes hiring a babysitter is a good idea.
  10. We Know How to Keep Them Safe: Rest assured, we’re not clueless. We don’t need reminders about basic safety.
  11. Your Kids Don’t Always Tell the Truth: That sweet little angel? They might just be spinning tales about what they did at our place.
  12. We Help with Homework: Oops, they were too busy gaming to do it themselves, so we lent a hand.
  13. Chocolate for Every Meal: Breakfast, lunch, and dinner? You guessed it! Good luck tonight dealing with that sugar high.
  14. We’ve Mastered the Fake Smile: You’ll see it when you drop off the kids. It’s our way of faking enthusiasm.
  15. Our Love for Them is Boundless: All of this stems from our deep love for your kids. One day, you’ll understand, and you too will enjoy the little moments of sweet escape.
