| Hi Simon, | |
| If you're reading this then you've made it to being a grandparent. Congratulations! It's a wonderfully | |
| rewarding experience, and you should treasure every moment. | |
| As you have probably realised, parenting nowdays isn't the same as when you had kids. At least | |
| that's what it seems like, right? Well, I wanted to just remind you about a few things from when | |
| you had your kids. Yes, your kids were (and still are) amazing, however: | |
| * Parenting was actually stupidly hard and took everything you had, every day | |
| * Your kids often gave you the shits to the point of wanting to strangle them | |
| * They whinged | |
| * They didn't eat everything you wanted them to | |
| * They hardly slept properly until they were about 4, and | |
| * No, they didn't just fit in with whatever life you thought you should have been able to live | |
| Yours, a loving father, and thoughtful younger self, | |
| Simon |
