5 Reasons Why Grandparents are the Best!

Grandparents never get the credit they deserve when our parents are not around. They are there as our substitute parents but way cooler! They always give us their undivided attention and when we are with them we can feel we are the most important people in their lives. There are countless reasons why grandparents are the best.

Here are our 5 favorite reasons why grandparents are the best (sorry parents).

1. They make us feel special

No matter how small the accomplishment may be your grandparents are always there to give you praise and recognition. Even though it gets embarrassing at times, we can’t help but feel special that someone notices our achievements.

2. You can do no wrong in their eyes

We all make mistakes, especially when we are learning about our place in the real world. No matter what mistakes we make, our grandparents are quick to forgive us and encourage us to do better next time.

3. They are the mediator between us and our parents

Miscommunication and disagreements often happen between child and parent, especially as we are ready to leave the nest and take on the world on our own. Grandparents are the best listener to our point of view when our parents won’t see it from our side. Grandparents are truly the peacemakers of the family.

4. Their wisdom is priceless

Wisdom is something that only comes from experience. When your grandparents give you advice about life, we encourage you to listen with all your heart. They only want to see us become the best version of ourselves and not make the mistakes they learned from in life.

5. They are the definition of eternal love

In a world with so many marriages ending in divorce, we are starting to forget what true love really looks like. If you are lucky enough to have both your grandparents around you can see it first hand. They are the perfect example of “for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part”.
