Amen to this article. Since my sister had children, in the eyes of the new grandparents my brother and I are pretty much dispensable with.
Further, they have no idea why my brother and I don't think the grandchildren are THE coolest things ever to hit the earth.

Grandchildren are the coolest things to ever hit the earth.
Grandchildren are your way to get even with your kids. You can spoil the hack out the the grandkids, then give them back to their parents, and let them deal with the problems!
Even better, you can give them gifts like chemistry sets (that includes instructions on making "stink bombs") and drum sets!
