Sorry but you can’t have the grandkids first, you have to earn them by hard labor and much angst. That is the only way you will REALLY appreciate those kids and equally appreciate giving them back.
Grandkids would be fun if your kids cooperated and gave you some. I think my son is afraid his kid would turn out to be the same imp he was. I think his wife is just afraid.
Sorry, gofinsc- maybe you can volunteer at a children’s ward in a hospital or other such. I’m happy to have 6 grandkids from my 4 kids. I have always felt a little sorry for my youngest son who married a woman with 2 teens (she did not want more). They raised some parrots (as I do) but they were just divorced this year and he may finally know the joy of being a dad. He has such a good and nurturing soul (shown even with his birds) that I’ve always thought it a waste that he had no kids to raise. (I’m not just wishing him the travail part).

Great-nieces and great-nephews are fun, too!
