| Congratulations. You get to do all of the fun things and let the parents be the disciplinarians.

Congrats and join the club.
What name are you going to use? My German grandfather was "opah" to most of his grandchildren, and I was going to use that in his memory. But I decided to use the traditional American "grandpa" instead. |

Both my grandfathers passed before I was born so I didn't get to call them anything. My kids called my father-in-law Paw paw. Thought that was cool so I'm going with that. |

BIG FAT "Congrats", buddy!
I've always regretted that I never might have any. They don't just let you skip the Part A (having kids) before you get to Part B (having grandkids).
I've thought there should be a Foster Grampa program, but....never heard of one.  |
Yeeeah, thatd kinda a requirement unless you're family-like friends with people with children. That's how I have so many nieces and nephews that aren't blood relatives.

I've got the opposite situation: had the child, but won't have any grandkids. daughter & son-in-law are opting out of the breeder class. |
Too bad. Maybe they'll change their mind as they get older. |
