Becoming a grandparent is the best thing in the world. You take away the drama and the stress of raising a kiddo and you’re left with the chillest part of being a kid’s guardian: Spoiling. You get to take the kid to Disneyland, you get to shower them with gifts even when it’s not their birthday, you get to teach them how to bake and how to sew, and you can be the loudest cheerer in the audience at their soccer games. Leave the heavy-duty parenting to the real parents of this kid, you’ve earned a well-deserved break from childrearing.
