What are your grandparents like?
Do you like them?

my first grandmother I didn't know very well; she died a few months ago.
My other grandmother is a few sandwiches short of a picnic basket. ^_^'
(But in a nice way) She saves every thing! She has a walk in cupbord full of plastic bags, news papers from th 50s, ect, ect..........

Grandfather A died before I was born so I don't know what he was like......
Grandfather B Was awsome. ^_^
He was the nicest person I've ever met; he died a few years ago :(

What are yours like?

at the moment only one of them is still with us

- my paternal grandmother "grandma" was a tough woman that loved her kids and grandkids and always loved seing them happy and smiling... tho she always made me eat my veggies :\
- i never my paternal grandfather, but i was told he was a fun and interesting man XP
- my materna grandmother "nana" is a very stern but loving woman, she gets excited about stuff quickly but she's still pretty cool (when she isnt angry about one of her grandkids being rude XP)
- my maternal grandfather "tata" was a very kick-ass and cool guy, always taking us on rides on his old truck and cracking a joke whenever he could, i really miss him :D

you can learn a lot from your elders
thanks for thinking up this thread gbg :)

From my father's side - both of them have passed away a few years ago. :(
From my mother's side - both of them are still here with me. :)

Anyway, both sides are/were firm believers in 'tough love' parenting methods. Shaped both my parents and then my parents instilled the same set of disciplines in me. My grandparents (from both sides) also had a hand in my upbringing and did on many occasions gave me good spanking (within limits, of course) when I went "evil". :p :D

i believe I wouldn't have gotten where I am now had they not instilled the positive values in me by their tough parenting style many thought today as callous/barbaric/etc. Screw all those sissy modern child psychology! If a child goes 'evil', spank them. I highly recommend it. :D

My mom's side:
Grandpa, he past away when I was 10 (er, forgot when was I). Well, I kinda didn't know him. Cuz we live far apart. So, I don't know how he's like (his attitude).
Grandma, hmm, sorry, I don't know her age. ^^' She still lives. She's nice too. But, again, I know her a few only.

My dad's side:
Grandpa, I guess he past away. Cuz I didn't saw him around when I was little. And I don't know how he looks like either. Cuz I don't see his pictures anywhere.
Grandma, she still lives. All I can say is that she's tough. She can be a little bit kind. Hmm, you should see my grandma how she looks like. It's kinda hard to tell whether she's angry or not.

Well, my two gandpas past away. And two grandmas still lives. They are tough although I still don't know their age. They're really old. Hmm, can't guess their age. ^^'

My maternal Grandma was the most wonderful woman in the world:) She raised me until I was almost 12 when she passed away, I am now 33. I miss her everyday of my life but especially at Christmas. She and my Aunt Cookie, who also raised me until 12, made Christmas the most wonderful time of the year:) Grandma was very much the boss but she always had a hug and kiss:) And I could always sleep with her when I had a bad dream:)
When I got married 7 years ago I got married on her Bday, September 19th, and had white roses and carnations in my bouquet , just so I could have her at my wedding:) I also wore the rose earrings she left me:) Merry Christmas Grandma!!!!

I dont know the rest of my grandparents. I did meet my paternal grandma but I was little and barely remember her.

They are cool my grandma like to play Nintendo and she like Football and WWE.

Whoa. You lucky gundam. ^_^

None of my grandparents are still alive, sadly. :(
But I used to like them very much (even if they didn't play Nintendo with me. :D )

From my father's side - Both of them are still here and they are nice, funny , lay back and likes to get me or fix me food of stuff I like! I like them a lot! ^.^
From my mother's side - They are alive but I really don't know them very much since they lived far away and they are... How can I say this? "strange and a little mean" o.o... and my real grandfather ran off from my grandma when my mother was born. :sweat: So I have a step-grandfather too. All of them treated my mother badly when she was young and now they want her to forgive them. My mother sorta of is forgiving them but they still act strange l. o_O They are just strange grandparents but I do talk to them every once in a while (in the phone) and get letters and greeting cards from them but I'm more close to my father's side. :3

My granfather on father's side I never got the chance to meet because he died while I was still a baby. My grandmother on that side died when I was in the second grade and I didn't visit her much while she was alive wich is a shame because I thought she was a sweet woman.

On my mother's side, both of them are still alive and kicking. My grandfather is sweet and funny and always happy to see us. My grandmother is shy and a the same time, talks alot and she never lets us do anything around the house when we visit her. :D

I never had the opportunity to know about my grandparents from my father's or my mother's side. They were born and living in what is now North Korea. When the Korean War broke out in 1950, my parents escaped to mainland Japan and from there to Okinawa which at the time was U.S. military territory. I was born in Okinawa and my family eventually moved U.S.

My mother showed me a black and white picture of dignified looking Korean wearing traditional clothes once. She said he was my grandfather. That picture is now lost and I really wish I still had it on me.

sadly, i have no living grandparents today...
>my grandfather on my mom's side died when she was in highschool, but he was born around the turn of the century so its not like he died especially young
>my grandfather on my dad's side died before i was born of asthma + smoking
>i didn't know my grandmother on my mom's side very well, but i think she was a nice person, i was pretty young when she died
>my grandma Bev on my dad's side i know kind well, but she was the last of my grandparents to die and she died when i was... maybe 12? sometime around then
>>however, i was fortunate enough to have met grandma Bev's mother, i didn't know her very well as she died when i was 6

sometimes i really wish i had know my grandfathers and how much different my life might have been had i met them...

Sadly my grandparents passed away two years ago. but i knew them quite well, even though they always nag but they r concern about you.

My Grandmother is one of the kindest women I've ever met. She's the kind of person you can talk to about anything, then will give you her honest and sincere opinion and advice. She's also a blind woman XD
Both my Grandfathers passed away quite a while ago ^_^'

Eh...my grandparents are always telling me to study and they give me the study-and-get-a- good-grade-for-the-future speeches a lot.

My grandparents are always asking me to behave, not to fight and study a lot. But they give me lots of money for birthdays or when I do well in school or just randomly. They're also very nice of course :D

Don't ill treat your grandparents eventually you will regret when they die.

what are my grandparents like. hmmm.....

my father's side, both of them I never meet. Because they pass awy since before I was born.
