My parents always say their grandchildren (they have 14) keep them young.
I think this only applies to grandparents.
If they’re your own kids, somehow they make you older. Or feel that way, anyway!
Between taking my dd to all-county band practice, to 3-yr-old time-outs and nightmares, to a very squirmy-all-over-the-place-and-crawly baby, I’m not feeling all that young!
So I’ve come up with a solution that could work for everyone. My parents can come stay with us for a few weeks. They can let the kids work their “make us younger” magic on my parents.
Then dh and I can go on our own vacation and regain some of our energy!
Now I just need to find the cash and convince my parents….

LOL! Sounds like a good plan to me.
Cheles last blog post..Quick hello and a link for some of my bloggers
Oh, that’s a GREAT plan! Let’s see how “young” they feel after a couple of days running around again! I feel so darn “young” that I sleep like a baby every single night!

I’d just love to sleep a whole night without interruption…my baby sleeps too much like a baby
LOL! Good luck convincing your parents. I like your philosophy. Maybe I’ll try that with my parents. I’m with you. My little one makes me feel old too. It’s hard work trying to keep up with a 4 year old. I should have had kids in my twenties instead of my late 30′s. Maybe I would of hand more energy.
Michelles last blog post..What’s Your Blogging Personality?
Not that much more
I had my first at 18, 2nd at 26 and 3rd at 29.
Grandchildren are the reward for not strangling our own children
LOL At least that’s what my parents tell me… I’m not in a rush to have grandkids… My son is 11, and I’m just not ready to think about that LOL
Gwynnes last blog post..Divorce does not have to screw up your kids
My dd’s 11, too
Grandkids is a crazy thought right now…though, in another 9 years it could happen. Frightening!
I have a theory about this whole grandparents staying young thing.
It’s payback. They now get to watch their children get tortured by the grandchildren, and we’ve heard the research that says good, consistent laughter is good for your health. They hear our stories, our complaints, our trials and tribulations, and they just sit back and snicker.
Who says revenge isn’t best served cold?
