Book Description

Publication Date: March 15, 1987
Ever since anyone can remember, grandmas have been stuck with baby-sitting while parents enjoy a night on the town...or two weeks in the Bahamas. Now there's help for beleaguered grandmas from Mary McBride, who instructs them on how to "scheme, lie, cheat, and threaten so you'll be thought of as a sweet, darling grandma."

McBride leaves grandmas in tears -- of laughter -- with outrageous helpful hints:

  • A short course in baby care for grandmas who still remember when diapers were fastened by safety pins

  • Creative suggestions for showing baby photos to anyone in any situation

  • How to get out of baby-sitting...or, if stuck, how to housebreak the kids before they wreck the house

  • How to get kids to behave at a restaurant...at least until they've ordered their food

  • Reality therapy for grandmas who think their grandchildren are perfect

  • How to advise the daughter-in-law without being banned from her home

  • How to behave at confirmations, bar mitzvahs, graduations, and weddings so the grandchild won't be embarrassed.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Grandma's truth, November 18, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Grandma Knows Best, But No One Ever Listens (Paperback)
I had read this book a long time ago when I first became a Grandma. When my sister became a Grandma, I got it for her. Mine is 23 years old and sometimes I look at it for some laughs and also some truths. This is really a cute book and I know anyone who is becoming a Grandma will love it. The title of the book Grandma knows best, but no one ever listens is true sometimes. I like to remind my kids of this but always in good humour. This would be a great Grandma gift at a baby shower.
