Are you guilty?,
By Millie (Oregon USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Nanas And The Papas: A Boomers' Guide To Grand (Paperback)
If you have incredible guilt over the way you raised your children or have amnesia about that experience, this is the book for you. The authors seem to assume that we all fit the stereotype of 60s boomers and need to remake ourselves as grandparents. From a quote on p 19, "Through grandparenthood, we are now convinced that we have a reprieve, a dispensation from God. We have another chance to help rear children." Isn't the role of rearing the children that of the parents?!There are some useful insights in this book, but they are few and far between. Find the book in a library and turn to the resources in the appendix.

Great tips. Lots of fun. A must have for any new grandparent,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Nanas And The Papas: A Boomers' Guide To Grand (Paperback)
I really enjoyed this book. I hadn't been able to find a book about grandparenting in the 90's that really spoke to me until I read this one. I encourage any soon-to-be grandparents to read it.

FINALLY!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Nanas And The Papas: A Boomers' Guide To Grand (Paperback)
Finally there's a book that helps ME understand what it is MY kids are talking about when they're talking about THEIR kids! This book is really helpful -- plus it's really fun and easy to read! I'm going to buy extra copies as Christmas gifts for my Boomer friends!!
