Here’s To The Grandmas Who Are A Perfect Mix Of Teacher-Parent-Friend

Stacy Brumley/FreeImages– listening to preschoolers tell stories. They tell stories of their own too, teaching their grandkids the history of not only their family, but of the world. They write letters and decipher indecipherable first scribbles. They teach their grandkids how to make apple dumplings that smell like a smile and taste like a hug. And if they’re anything like my own grandma, they might teach their grandkids a few inappropriate jokes.showing up.

But the rock star grandparents are also part parent. They aren’t afraid to be “the bad guy” from time to time. They say “no” to three scoops of ice cream . They carry the screaming toddler out of the store so that an on-the-brink parent can finish shopping for five goddamn minutes. They tell a to knock that shit off. They lead by example with their grace and kindness and patience. They don’t just tell their grandkids how to be good humans; theyBut most importantly, they are part friend. They are slower to offer advice, and quicker to listen. They will spend hours on the phone on a weeknight, and they will actually listen to those long-winded stories about their grandkid’s latest creation in Minecraft. They get silly and creative and aren’t afraid of a little glitter or mud.

Kick ass grandparents are there when a frustrated or sad tween “just can’t even” with their parents anymore. They’ll happily go out for pizza and a movie on a rainy Saturday afternoon, and they are always up for a sleepover. They will try on goofy hats and take selfies and like every single one of your Instagram posts, usually with some affirming AF but kind of embarrassing words of encouragement too.

Grandmas – even the “average” ones – are a treasure. But the ones who show up, who are there time and time again, who are teacher-parent-friend, who get their hands dirty and keep their hearts open … well, those grandmas are the shiniest gems of them all.in it with all you’ve gotWe are Scary Mommies, millions of unique women, united by motherhood.
