Are grandchildren pros? They can be cons some days! :)






A friend of mine has a grandchildren avoidance plan over every Christmas time, he goes on a foreign holiday and doesn't tell anyone where he is going.

There aren't many pros.

No mortgage because we paid it off.

Cons are that everything hurts, especially in this cold weather. Head shoulders knees and toes, hips, oh - and never tell the doctor about any of this stuff, you'll never be free of an appointment or a packet of pills ever again.  :lol:

Yeah I ain't really bothered about myself I just want to be able to support my OH.



Cons

Can't do the things I used to as I don't have the stamina though I do crack on with a job then am knackered for days.


I am knackered just thinking about all the things I am supposed to do. And I don't like suggesting getting someone in because even the thought of spending money is enough to break Madam's frugal Yorkshire heart.



Fortunately, my boy can manage most anything except listen to my helpful advice  :D

Pros



You don't worry about much. You know that most problems sort themselves out and if they don't then you are going to be dead soon and then it will be someone else's worry

Cons



You seem to spend half your time piddling. I have just come back from my allotment where I intended to settle in with a pot of coffee and think about all the jobs I had no intention of doing, but no sooner had the cup touched my lips than I was running around looking for somewhere to pump ship. That is one of the problems that doesn't solve itself
