Is that because you're female, or because you're old? :)

...she had another girl picked out for my husband...seriously... Hmmm. :)
[...]and that it isn't children's business or concern if grownups don't agree.
An idea that is often lost on the adults. Whenever the kids are in the middle things are always a mess, and all manner of ill comes of it.

I hadn't really counted but I had bought her 6 outfits, a winter coat and a few toys. (Seems reasonable to me! :)). It's really hard to resist, but some friends of mine had to become vigorous with relatives as their kids were getting 2-3 stuffed animals per relative, per visit, plus other toys. The poor kids were overwhelmed, and could never keep their rooms clean. When I helped bag them up for Good Will, we ended up packing up over 200 bears and such of various sizes. hehe

Thanks for the PING, Fraulein.
BTW, my grandpa was a big German guy who smoked cigars and loved to tell jokes and play pranks. He came to this country as a lad of sixteen, and worked hard all his life. He was a baker, and baked all of my sisters' wedding cakes. Everyone in the neighborhood knew him and liked him. The ladies swooned as he walked by and tipped his straw hat on a summer's evening.
Thanks, GrandMoM, for starting this thread.

**....sadly, not all parents see a need to include the grandparents in the family structure. **
Sometimes it's the other way around...grandparents who feel it a burden to be an integral part of their grandchildren's lives. Unfortunately, my mother feels this way...
To: Brad's Gramma
We kids all loved it when he would sit us down in front of the chalkboard and illustrate and sing "Schnitzelbank".
"Ist das nicht der Schnitzelbank?" he'd say.
And our reply, "Ja, das ist der Schnitzelbank".
....Oh, du schoene, oh du schoene, oh, du schoene ....
Good memories.

Poster....I meant poster.
Of course, Grandpa got creative at the end and added on a few funny things not in the traditional song. ;)
