I can now finally disclose that I'm about to receive a significant promotion... My job will be changing from "parent" to "grandparent" this fall.

Start writing out the toy shopping list now, Jerry.
Yes, these won't be required for a few years, but it helps to be organised.
Drum kits, whistles, xylophones, cymbal bashing monkeys, karaoke machines, electric guitars...
... anything your grandchild can use to annoy the hell out of your own kid.
Revenge is a dish best served cold, via a proxy, and at maximum volume!
Congrats!

It's the greatest 'role' of a lifetime.
Love being a grandparent. It's much more fun than being a parent. Less stress. When my granddaughter smiles at me and gives me a hug there is absolutely nothing wrong in the world.
Congrats.

CarmenSD11235@infosec.exchange@kabutor @jerry LoL When my kid started learning to crawl, my FIL went through the house looking for all the things he needed to baby proof. My husband asked why he didn't bother to do the same with him and his siblings. He snapped that it was because he had spares. 🤣 No, we didn't let him baby proof anything. Our kid is now a tween though some days she stomps on my patience and might not see her teen years.

matt@toot.mattedwards.org@jerry yay! I only got the nod for parent recently. Hope the grandparent role is less time intensive.

@jerry Congrats to all. Oh boy, now comes deciding what your grandparent title will be. Grandpa, Pops, Opa, Papa, Optimus, Professor Xavier, you get to pick anything really and everybody has to go along with it

@Nonya_Bidniss we’ve discussed that and I think we’ve settled on Grampus, because it sounds a lot like Krampus
