Hmm that is a mouthful of a title it’s like how many woodchucks could a ..... you get the picture!
Anyway Pyper has 1 Nana who lives in Australia and 1 Gan who lives in NZ and 1 Pop that lives in NZ also. And they all love her to bits which is fantastic, and the question I ask myself is do they parent our children like they wished they had parented us? Where they unsure about what they were doing when they had us, that perhaps that over time they have built up confidence with children, that its second nature to be hands on and giving of their time to our children when perhaps they couldn’t do it when they were younger and working to make a better life for us??
I know my mother is completely different to Pyper then she ever would have been to me, and I see that in my wife’s father also.
I just wonder why our parents wait so long to parent like this when they could do it from the start!

Yes I think in some ways
Yes I think in some ways they do. My kids have a Poppa who lives here in BC near us and I think he is making up for lost time or compensating for something when it comes to our kids.
My mom (Nannee) lives in NZ and sadly doesn't see the kids often, but the thought has crossed my mind before that she would likely do the same thing.
Interesting post!
