Grannies in the same room, at the same time

My two grannies actually went on a month long holiday together when I was about 10! They got on quite well, and my maternal granny always sent my paternal granny photos of me and little letters as she looked after me a lot, while my other granny lived further away. It was quite a nice set up they had.

My parents and my daughter’s other grandparents met on the ward just after I’d given birth to her. It was very awkward for them all and 30 years later and some growing up I realize I should have handled it much better. I now cringe when I think how inconsiderate I was.

My grandparents would see each other at birthdays and Christmas. They would send each other Christmas cards and ask after one another.

At my wedding my son was in the same room as 3 great grandmas, 2 grandmas, one step grandad and one grandad.

I wish we'd got more photos.

I don't think I've ever seen my parents in the same room. Nevermind my Grannies.

Yeah - my grandparents lived a considerable distance apart and we lived closer to my mum's parents and stayed with them quite frequently at weekends when we were kids. My gran taught me lots of skills and although working class was quite educated and was brought up in a city. My other grandma was very different and I didn't really feel any connection with her when we stayed with her infrequently. I don't remember them ever meeting!

I'm not sure I ever saw my grandparents all in the same place. Almost sure it never happened in my lifetime.

I can relate as my grandparents probably never mixed, I know my Dads Mum didnt even go to their wedding 😅Looking back I cant imagine they liked each other very much & it would've felt very weird for them to be in a room together.

However, thankfully my parents and DH's all mix fine (even though my mum and Dad are separated) My mum and MiL call each other occasionally and love to chat when they see each other, they send each other birthday & Christmas cards. I made the conscious decision early on in our relationship for everyone to mix at get togethers and it was none of my business what they all thought of each other. Luckily they are all fairly reasonable people and they all get along fine

My kids grandparents i.e my parents and OH's parents meet regularly but then again we live in the same city. They get on amazingly well!

I remember as a child that there was a time both sets of grandparents were coming over and I was really worried they wouldn't like each other. Despite the fact they had obviously met each other before, but little child me couldn't comprehend they had lives before I was born😉

Yes, I also have this as a core memory from my 4th birthday party, realising my grans knew each other 😂 I only had my grans, both grandads passed before I was born, so it was very much their world only at their respective homes.

My Nana and grandma used to take my sister and I out every Saturday together. Take us to the pub, we’d get some food then play in the park. It was great :) I have one memory of a time when my Nana and grandma even came down the slides.
My grandma has passed now and my Nana is 93 and still going strong

I get what you mean. I never saw mine together. They were very different people but my parents each had very different upbringings.

the only time I can remember my grandmothers being in the same room was at my wedding . One died before my 2 brothers weddings.
my childrens grandmothers were in the same room a lot . They both lived a few minutes from us and were friends going to pensioners clubs together .

I think my paternal grandmother and my mums parents must have met a fair bit but can't remember entirely. They didn't have loads in common I do remember one granny came to the other's funeral.

My parents and in laws live about 15 mins away from each other and they seem to hang out a fair bit without us now!

I’m very fond of the other Nana. We often meet up at family gatherings.

The last time my GPs met was at my parents wedding. Dad's family were staunch Protestants, Mum's were Catholic. This was not the done thing in Lanarkshire in the early 70s. The wedding photographs are a hoot.

My grandparents lived in two different countries, and they wouldn't have even met when my parents got married because they had two weddings, one in each country as no one would have been able to afford to travel abroad for a wedding (my parents couldn't even afford it, they hitchhiked back to the UK after the Finnish wedding and counted it as their honeymoon) so I definitely can't imagine them in the same room. My maternal grandparents didn't speak English so they wouldn't even have been able to talk to my paternal granny. One of my aunties and her husband did go over to Finland and met the family though.

I don't think my grannies would of ever met

My Grandmothers were both at my Christening and never in the same room with each other afterwards.

I carried on the tradition, my parents and inlaws met at our wedding and DD’s 1st Birthday. She’s 22 now and has never seen them together.

My paternal grandma was a cantankerous, difficult and at times thoroughly nasty piece of work. She was never invited to family gatherings involving my mum’s relatives because she was invariably rude and embarrassing.

Totally I can relate.

I don't think they ever mentioned each other!

Mine only got together for weddings, christenings and funerals.

I remember seeing my grandparents together a few times, but they lived very far from each other so it wasn't often.

My parents and in laws see each other a couple of times a year and my children often celebrate their birthdays with all four grandparents present. I think my mum and FIL text each other quite often too.

Completely this for me too!

It was rare, but not unheard of. We called it the Double Granny Whammy. Once we even managed a Triple Granny Whammy.
