Have you ever caught yourself thinking something and then realized, “Wow, I’ve officially reached peak grandma status”? Well, I’ve compiled a list of 16 thoughts that every grandma has had at some point.
Some are serious, some are funny, and others are… well, I don’t know, but I hope you enjoy the list!
1. “I never knew love until I held my grandbaby for the first time.”
Remember that moment when you first laid eyes on your grandbaby? It was like falling in love all over again, but this time with a love so pure and unconditional that it took your breath away.
2. “I hope I’m around long enough to see them grow up.”
As much as we hate to admit it, we all have this thought from time to time. We want to be there for every milestone, every achievement, and every precious moment in our grandkids’ lives.
3. “I wonder if they’ll remember me when I’m gone.”
It’s a bittersweet thought, but we all hope that our grandkids will carry a piece of us in their hearts forever, even when we’re no longer here to give them those squishy hugs.
4. “I’m going to spoil them rotten and there’s nothing anyone can do about it!”
It’s our prerogative as grandmas to spoil our grandbabies silly, and we’re not afraid to own it! Bring on the candy, the toys, and the endless cuddles.
5. “Oh no, they’re crying! What do I do? Where’s their mom?!”
No matter how many kids we’ve raised, there’s always that moment of panic when our grandkid starts crying and we’re not quite sure how to soothe them. Don’t worry, grandma instincts will kick in soon enough!
6. “I hope I’m being a good role model for them.”
We all want to be the best grandmas we can be, and that means setting a good example for our grandkids. Whether it’s through our actions, our words, or our love, we strive to be a positive influence in their lives.
7. “I can’t believe how quickly they’re growing up!”
It seems like just yesterday they were taking their first steps, and now they’re running circles around us! Time flies when you’re a grandma, and we cherish every moment.
8. “I need to update my phone with more pictures of my grandbabies.”
Our phones are basically digital brag books filled with countless photos of our adorable grandbabies. And we’re not ashamed to show them off to anyone who will look!
9. “I hope they know how much I love them.”
Even if we tell them a million times, we still wonder if our grandkids truly understand the depth of our love for them. We want them to feel it in every hug, every kiss, and every “I love you.”
10. “I’m not just a grandma, I’m a cool grandma!”
We may be grandmas, but that doesn’t mean we’re not hip and trendy! We’re the coolest grandmas on the block, and our grandkids know it.
11. “I wonder what kind of world they’ll grow up in.”
As we watch our grandkids grow, we can’t help but wonder about the future and what kind of world they’ll inherit. We hope and pray that it’s a world filled with love, kindness, and opportunity.
12. “I’m so proud of the person they’re becoming.”
With every milestone, every achievement, and every act of kindness, our hearts swell with pride for the amazing little humans our grandkids are becoming.
13. “I miss them so much when they’re not around.”
The hardest part about being a grandma is when we have to say goodbye, even if it’s just for a little while. We count down the days until we can see their smiling faces again.
14. “I would do anything for them.”
There’s nothing we wouldn’t do for our grandbabies. They have us wrapped around their little fingers, and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
15. “I’m so grateful to be a grandma.”
Despite the ups and downs, the worries and the joys, we’re so incredibly thankful for the privilege of being a grandma. It’s a role we cherish with all our hearts.
16. “I love them more than words can express.”
At the end of the day, this is the thought that encompasses all the others. Our love for our grandkids is a love that knows no bounds, a love that will last a lifetime and beyond.
So there you have it, my fellow grandmas. Sixteen thoughts that we’ve all had at some point in our grandma journey. And you know what? It’s these thoughts that make being a grandma so special. We may not have all the answers, and we may worry from time to time, but one thing is for sure: our love for our grandbabies is a force to be reckoned with.
So keep being the amazing grandmas you are, and know that you’re not alone in your thoughts and feelings. We’re all in this together, navigating the beautiful, messy, wonderful world of grandmahood. And I wouldn’t have it any other way.
