Of course you might not want to be on tap as a constant source of babysitting services, but you need to be very careful as to which illnesses you fake. On the other hand, there's a wealth of knowledge which you do require for when you're caug... er, delighted to be asked. You'll need to understand the language your grandchildren speak, master the basics (at least) of texting and be ''au fait'' with the requirements of present giving, which is an art form in itself. All these knotty problems are covered and you will feel completely terrified at the idea of being a grandparent.
It's funny, but behind it all there's an uncomfortable grain of truth. Many grandparents, parents and grandchildren have a wonderful relationship but it's not always the case. Some long for more contact - some for much less and others for a more considerate relationship. I can't honestly say that this book is going to sure solve any of the problems - but you will be able to laugh at them.
I'd like to thank the publishers for sending a copy to the Bookbag.
