When grandparents enter the door, discipline flies out the window.
Becoming a grandmother is wonderful. One moment you're just a mother. The next you are all-wise and prehistoric.
Grandchildren are the dots that connect the lines from generation to generation.
If becoming a grandmother was only a matter of choice, I should advise every one of you straight away to become one. There is no fun for old people like it!
Perfect love sometimes does not come until the first grandchild.
A mother becomes a true grandmother the day she stops noticing the terrible things her children do because she is so enchanted with the wonderful things her grandchildren do.
Elephants and grandchildren never forget.

Few things are more delightful than grandchildren fighting over your lap.
