JanetS I couldn't agree more that being a young grandma is a great advantage that comes from having been a child bride!! :0)))) LOL Married at 16 first child at 17 and 3 more by 24....I was a mother in law at 35 and a grandma for the first time at 38!! Now ten years later I've got the two newer grandbabies and can still do all the babysitting they need 3 or 4 days a week! And I love it!!!

On the other hand there is a lot to be said for the new generation waiting longer to marry and have kids, they have their careers down pat and have gained so much experience in life. I know my patience and experience in life now make me a very mellow grandma as opposed to the more perfectionist mom that I was!!

Here's a shot of my oldest DD with her two. She and her DH waited 8 years between kids!!
