Please,would u like to tell some sweet things about them?Can you tell us about sweet memories or stories,poems,etc told by your grandparents? We can reexperience our childhood or we can share your sweet memories.We can also tell it to our grandchildren.
although my memory is not so clear about it..
but one of my earliest memories is climbing in my grandpa's lap early in the morning and he would read ramcharitmanas to me and make me recite the same..
he would drop me to school and pick me up from there and buy ice cream while we were coming back without tell my parents.
tell stories about all gods and goddesses and tales from mythology.
scold my parents if they were too strict with me
he was extremely well versed and fluent in urdu and farsi, one thing i really wished he could have taught me.
i lost him when i was 11.

Enjoy some quotes on Grandparents & the grandchild relationships..
The reason grandchildren and grandparents get along so well is that they have a common enemy.
Grandparent is a babysitter who watches the kids instead of the television.
There's no place like home except Grandma's.
When grandparents enter the door, discipline flies out the window.
Grandparents are someone with silver in their hair and gold in their heart.
Grandparents make cheap babysitters.
Do you know why grandchildren are always so full of energy? They suck it out of their grandparents.
Grandparents are perfect because they have a second chance to correct what they did wrong as Parents.

I see my daughtet in her young daughters face: and those eyes that now shine up at me, were her eyes of a generation ago. Seeing those bright blue eyes, and hearing the laughter of my grandchild,I realize that love can never disappear; it is merely reborn and renewed. 
it depends on the relation between the husband and wife and how they deal with their parents..if that is not ok ...
it only have a bad effect on the kids.....it is like a kid stuck in between 4 tides all in dfferent directon..
what if the gp's teach the kid that you're mom i sbad or your dada is bad...it happends in many places.. dont mean to sat the gp's are bad but the tv serals are poisinoning the mind of the deally tv watching old people..
gp's are good for kids /und us --if they can understand the present generatons (our , mid 30's) life style and the way in which the how competitive socity s heading..and if they can help us and the kids progress... ..And if they can contrubute to help us progress ..
Gp's are not of use if they are going add -ve emoting to the kids or take our time and effort teachng them making them understand the present days trends,explanng every acton of ours ..
that time could be better spend on manturing our kids or in out personal progress while they are happy livng their lfe style..i mean to day man a dstance..

that's a good point. It can become difficult if the grandparents and the parents are not on the same page for certain things. It depnds on the people -- some grandparents feel like they have a limited time with the kids, so they'll spoil them. Then leave he parents to fix the mess. (In one case, the grandfather fed a toddler some "street food" , when he was specifically asked not to do so , and the child fell sick).
Others acknowledge they are grandparents only, and let the parents be the parents to the kid. However, they'll still be parents to their own kids and tell them what to do :-\

Each and every person should know that one time they may become some time grand parent so they should act accodingly and for grand parents they should do some work such as house hold, to bring vegetables and fruits for their family and should play like child with their grand children so whole family my feel good and can live with peace
I grew up without my grandparents -- I can count on 1 hand how many summers I spent with them. Then they have all passed away by the time I was 18. But, I really have great memories of them and know my siblings, cousins and I still feel as if they're with us.
The one thing I've noticed is that I do enjoy being with elderly people, looking for "surrogates." I want to make sure my daughter has a rel'ship with all her grandparents, no matter the distance.
Believe me... Grandparents are links to the family history. The parents hardly talk about family history to children, who will never listen to them anyway. Grandparents are associated with stories and kids look forward to stories from them..... Even now when I am with my cousins, we reminsce talking and mimicking our grandparents and I even tell them about great grandparents whom they never saw...
Imagine the stories I (can) tell my grandkids starting with the typo in my name - which is the result of a mistake by my great grandfather....:)

The little time I had with my grandfather, he taught us life lessons. Those statements have stayed in the back of my mind, and have helped me in my relationships with other people.
care to share?
Life Sux....
My grandfather's oft repeated advice to me was NOT TO BE STUPID AND GET MARRIED.
Needless to say, I listened to my parents - for once.

as Ms. Mariposita wd say:
*Mr. Uppili....I am sure Mrs. Uppili is ROFLing all the time........ with the company she has in you.
And your grand parents were nice people :)) like all grand parents are. But why do we divide people on age..... I do not agree with labels like grand and great grand.
Now behave :))

Yes. Absolutely without a doubt essential. Grandparents enrich your kids lives beyond anything you can ever do.
I would say nice but not esssential. If they are all aroud and all well then its good. But if they are all v ill or all dead or all live somewhere else the children will still grow up fine without them.
gowser,
kids sure do grow up just fine without grand parents but at the same time...i have come to see my tooder sons social skills improve just one month with his grand parents. That is just my son and that is just one skill, but on the whole after my own experience with my grandparents, I do feel, my kid is missing the interaction with his gp's on a more regular basis.

If they are around and well then its good and there are benefits. But if you simply have no grandparents then you would do without them and cope. Hence the nice but not essential.

Contradictions....
If one has no grandparent nothing can be done. They HAVE to do without them...
Nothing is essential. one can live their entire life by eating salad.... or wearing a loin cloth... Can you say everything else is NOT essential? One can "cope" without a car, without sending the kids to a good school. The idea is all these things add quality to a child's life and future.
Grandparents are essential to kids in bringing certain aspects of life. Without them, the kids will survive...but that is not the point.

Yes the children grow up fine without them.
But, with them around they turn out much better.
