Yeah grandkids are so much fun and they come at a point in your life when nothing is a big deal anymore and you have $$ to spend on them and spoil them.

What happened? Oh you drew with a marks-a-lot on the white couch? That's okay it was getting old anyway... Draw Pawpaw something else..

ETA- Our kids say we are not the people they grew up with, which is so true. My wife was a drill sergeant but now will walk in the rain if that's what the grandkids want to do..

I feel like this is true for most grandparents. My dad was a hard arse with me and my brothers our whole life but with my kid he's super chill. Just a quick example, we always had strict bedtimes under his roof. Me and my wife went out of town one weekend and my parents watched our kid for the weekend. I told them bedtime was at 8. While on our trip he texted us a video of them playing in the living room at 10, and I told him "shouldn't he be in bed" and he just responded "He wasn't tired, let the kid have some fun".
