1) When you first found out you were going to have a grandchild, you were shocked
Like, properly shocked. You thought you were WAY too young to have grandkids!
** 2) You started shopping for baby things immediately…**
And you spent a fortune. It was touch and go whether or not you’d need to file for bankruptcy!
3) And you panicked that you didn't have what it takes to be a good granny
You can't even knit, for goodness sake!
** 4) But when you met your little grand baby for the first time, your heart positively melted.**
So much love. So, so much love.
**5) You hate the names ‘grandma’, ‘granny’, and ‘gran’ with a passion **
It makes you feel like a super-old and wrinkly and stooped-over old biddy.
**
- Instead, you prefer to be thought of as a hot young nana **
Or nanny. Sometimes nan - it depends on who’s asking, we guess!
**
- Although even THAT took some getting used to… **
When people first started mentioning nan, you assumed they were talking about someone else. Someone like, say, your mum…
**
- You secretly love it when people tell you that you look WAY too young to be a grandma**
**
**
PREACH ON, PEOPLE!!!
**
- And you totally used to love it when they called you a GILF… **
Until, you know, you broke down the acronym and worked out what it meant. “Grandma I’d like to… ew!”
**
- People often mistake you and your daughter / the mum of your grandkids for sisters **
You try not to smirk too much while she gets annoyed about it!
**
- Although you do sometimes bored of people assuming that your grandchildren are your children…**
**
**
Mainly because it encourages your grand babies to pipe up with some amazing little gem, like “no way, my mummy is MUCH younger - this is my nan. She's ANCIENT!!!”
** 12) The closest you’ll get to being a ‘granny’ is wearing granny pants **
But, then again, you’ve been secretly wearing them since your twenties anyway…
**
- You think your partner is the hottest granddad of all time**
**
**
He’s a total GILF. There, you’ve said it.
**
- You once idly googled the phrase ‘young gran’ and a MILLION different porn sites popped up**
**
**
“ALL I WANTED WAS TO FIND A FUN ONLINE COMMUNITY OF OTHER HOT YOUNG NANNIES - NOT THIS!!! NEVER THIS!!!”
**
- You spoil your grandkids **
But it’s a grandma’s privilege to indulge them with special treats!
**
- You wear yourself out running around after them **
But, you know, playtime is way more fun than hitting the gym!
**
- Your fridge and walls are covered in childish artwork**
**
**
But you treasure them way more than you ever would a Picasso or a Monet. After all, you'd have NO qualms about selling one of those off if it meant you'd rake in some big bucks...
**
- You love looking at your grandchildren and seeing your own child smile back at you**
So many memories!** **
**
- You might be a teeny bit sick of Frozen by now - but you think it’s great you have an excuse to watch Disney films 24/7! **
Let it go, let it gooooooo… nope, we were wrong. You’ll never be sick of that tune!
**
- Most of all, you love that they always come to you for advice **
You’re a friend as well as a grandma - and they know you’ll always know exactly what to say!
**
- So yes, you’re a young grandmother - but you wouldn’t change one thing about it! **
You’re a wonderful mother with lots and lots of practice… and you get even more time with your beautiful grandkids because they came along so early. Perfect.
