ET, you might not want what I say. Sometimes grandparents spoiled our grandkids. We give and do all what they want when they were younger. It's not because I am the one saying but all my grandkids have discipline. They listen to me when I say no and stop. Maybe because they do not see me always. I took care of my oldest grandson until 10 years old he is 21 yrs old now but he is a fine man and all the others. Don can testify that. I am sure that the more they get matured they will be great grandkids. I missing all my grandkids. "The only way to have a friend is to be one."

Depending on the age of the Grandkids, I would say that the parents of them are mostly to blame for their bad behavior. If the parents will tolerate it, other people have to put up with it too. Alfie...

I guess I have been lucky with my grandchildren and great grand children. Their parents took time to discipline them. Of course I may be prejudiced............ya think?

Earthy I don't have grandkids but a lot of nieces and nephews and 18 greats. I have a brand new great nephew who is one month old today. I got to visit him yesterday again and got to hold him and give him his bottle. He is the cutest little guy but I realize he will not be little very long. I haven't always been around them all when they were babies. So hopefully I will be able to spend a lot of time with Charlie. I don't think my nieces and nephews and their kids are overly spoiled. They have all turned out really well.

What a situation!! I alway figure ....My house .... my rules!! If their parents don't like it, they are welcome to take their kids home. Of course, I always have a number of activities or games ready to play with the kids... and if all else fails, an age appropriate dvd. Good luck!!!

I have a grandson that is a handful and always getting into things. He is disciplined, so it's not that his parents aren't trying, he's really just an annoying brat!! It's kind of funny though, when he's here, and I get after him, he behaves for the most part, lol, probably because he knows if he misbehaves, I'll send him home, and he likes it here more than there!

Discipline is very important, love is more important. My eldest grandchild is a real handful, spoiled, I couldnt have him in my house (still cant), he would have destroyed my musical instruments and other things. He didnt know no and still doesnt on occasion. In the beginning I didnt want to relate to him, he really bugged me but he's getting better. This bothered me as his grandpa and I didnt want him to grow up with me holding him at a distance. Now I go to his place, I hug him and wrestle him, pay him some attention. If he's naughty I ignore him. It's taking time and a lot of patience, but he now runs to me and hugs me and yells, "Grandpa" with excitement when he sees me. I've got into the habit of picking him up and hugging him when we meet and then moving both my arms across his back backwards and forwards yelling, wer, wer, wer, wer over and over while he does the same, it shakes our vocal chords in a funny way, like trying to sing a single note on a bumpy road (if that makes sense). Anyway, it's now our first real common bond and he loves it. He comes for more quite often during my visits, if he's naughty he doesnt get it, if good he does. He loves his 'noisy hug shakes' and he's paying more attention to what I say. Not only that but it's a physical bond too, kids need that. No he's not anywhere near perfect yet, it's a long way to go but he is learning, and so am I. When I remember what I was like .... I'm glad my parents and their friends didnt give up on me. Judgment Day will be interesting - and all paths lead there.
