ADOPT A GRANNY!

Hello everyone - I would love to have the opportunity to give either a child or children the chance to enjoy the relationship of having a granny in their lives. So many children don't have this blessing. I am already a granny to a lovely baby girl and the relationship we already have is second to none - I would love the chance to extend this to another child or children who aren't so fortunate.

I am 55 years old, recently widowed, but have so much love and fun to give! Whether it's making home-made playdough, painting, going for walks or outings, watching films together, picnics, playing with make-up, playing car games, Lego, the list is endless - there's so much fun to be had!

Obviously checks and references would be necessary and I would be happy to provide anything that would help in this way. We have to keep everything safe and secure for babies and children in today's World. I worked in the Care Sector for many years, have three grown-up children of my own, so I have vast experience raising children and of course now as a granny too!

I live in Fareham, Hampshire and have loads of time on my hands now and would love to hear from any parents who aren't in the fortunate position of having parents themselves and would like to "adopt" me as a granny to their child or children. I would be happy to provide any information required. I don't mind if the grandchild or grandchildren are babies, toddlers or children of any age, my heart and home is open to them all!

Please give my message some thought - there isn't enough fun and love in the World today and hopefully I can make a small difference there. I am not ready to hang up my knitting yet, nor do I wear wrinkly Nora Batty type stockings, I am full of fun and love life, love music and generally have the philosophy that each day is a blessing and there to be enjoyed!

Hope to hear from any interested parents soon!

I have often thought that it would be lovely for my ds to have more interaction with his grandparents. All four sets are around but take no intrest in him and it saddens me for him.
This is a lovely idea should it take off

You sound lovely! I wish you lived closer!

nottonightjoesphine · 18/05/2014 23:36

Gosh you sound amazing:/. wish you lived near me

juneybean · 18/05/2014 23:37

I wish there were more of you out there, I keep threatening to kidnap a nana since I lost my own a couple of years ago hehe

I recently fleed dv. With fleeing my dc left their only gp that they knew (my parents not on the scene) so this would have been great for my dc. Shame your jot closer to me.

This is so nice. I only have my mum as my dad and all of my grandparents are now deceased and our relationship isn't great.

I think that this is lovely idea - I'm sure you'll have lots of takers!

JokersGiggle · 20/05/2014 23:02

Wish you lived near me Sad fancy moving to bucks? (i'm only half joking!) X

RaspberryBeret34 · 21/05/2014 18:24

That is a great idea, wish I lived closer too!

shey02 · 25/05/2014 08:23

That's so nice, wish you lived nearer, we'd adopt you for sure. :)

DippyEggNSolders · 25/05/2014 08:25

Oh we need to find you a parent and child.

You sound so lovely, my DS would love you, but you're a bit too far away.

We need to keep bumping the thread!

NationMcKinley · 25/05/2014 08:27

Such a lovely idea Flowers

MrGeresChocolateButtPlug · 25/05/2014 08:44

Aw, wish you were closer to me...

nomorequotes · 25/05/2014 16:18

Only 35 miles from me.

I have PM'd - we are woefully short on grannys here!

alikat724 · 28/05/2014 12:27

Alas I am 80 miles away, but you sound wonderful Libby! Would definitely take you up on the offer if I lived closer, also very short on grannys for my DD.
