Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Thank you, I couldn't have imagined this joy. I don't why it's a little different with a grandchild. Maybe because we aren't struggling financially like we did as new parents and we already know what to do. I'm now in the club that pulls the phone out to show pictures. Congrats to you with the new baby. Babies are amazing. Even after today me keeping a very fussy baby and a little jealous dog it still feels amazing.
I thinks it’s because we are so busy being parents. We have to raise decent human beings so we have to discipline and support them financially and in all life’s endeavors. We are busy working, cleaning, cooking, doing activities and homework. Before we know it our babies are grown and having babies of their own. We get to be the fun grandparents while the parents are the disciplinarians. One thing I have discovered is that now I know why old woman can’t have babies. Praise the Lord. That 2 almost 3 year old wears me out more than any exercise program ever could ❤️😂
Amen on all points! Who needs a gym when you are doing arm lifts with a baby😳
Completely agree with that 😂
