Well, I knew this was coming, but the announcement is official. SO is to be a grandfather, and I am to be a pseudo-step-grandma. At 46! Bleah.
Having never had kids of my own, I have mixed feelings. It will at least give me the chance to buy cute baby clothes and toys. We are far enough away not to be asked to baby-sit, which would be my biggest fear. SO is not so excited, mostly due to the fact that Mom-to-be is only 19.
I'm curious how grandparenthood has affected others, and did you end up wanting to be more involved than you had expected? I really don't see us as the doting grandparent types, but I guess you never know until it happens to you, eh?
