I'm a grandmother of three and I'm having the best time of my life! We ski, hike, bike, travel - this is the time to do it! The old adage "You're only as old as you feel" is very true. If you feel youthful and sexy - you are!0

Man, I sure hope not, or I'm totally doing it wrong! I figured out after the first grandchild that fitness is a requirement, cuz man can them little buggers run quick!0

grandmothers are younger these days. We don't look like our mom's did. we look younger, have more energy, we work out. I have my granddaughters all the time and just love it, we do all sorts of things together (ahh, yes we do bake lots of cookies). no requirements other than LOVE!! have fun.0

^^^^ This!!! From a grandma of 7 from age 20 to age 2.I'm a grandmother of three and I'm having the best time of my life! We ski, hike, bike, travel - this is the time to do it! The old adage "You're only as old as you feel" is very true. If you feel youthful and sexy - you are!0 -
Hmmm, I am a grandmother of 3... and I bake them cupcakes and cakes and cook yummy stuff for them (I don't tell them I healthy up the recipes and they can't tell the difference)... I also sing karaoke, dance poorly, can drink like a fish (but it's very rarely), and cuss like a sailor...
I'm also the grandmother who makes them go outside and play instead of sitting inside on a video game all the time.
I do love a rocking chair... but I don't have one...0 -
my grandchildren keep me feeling young. their energy sometimes rub off of me. they be wanting to workout all the time....lol. you should see them do sit ups, push ups & pull ups. they stronger than me, that's for sure.....lol.0

Karaoke is my thing, we do it a lot at my house. I dance my butt off, to Reggae & Soca that is. I love a rocking chair or a recliner, but do not have one. I told my children that I wanted one for christmas or my birthday last year, well, I am still waiting....lol0 -
my grandmother is 89, is cute as can be, the sweetest lady you ever met, super active as far as her body will allow, genius at crossword puzzles, and giggles like a 16 year old girl.
I want to be just like her when I grow up

That is so endearing!0 -
I enjoy life even more now that I can go to work when I choose. I have to stay in shape to keep up with the grandkids and have fun with them. I wish mine were closer so I could see them more often. (sigh)0

I just became a first time grandma last Friday....so I'm taking notes on how I should act!!! I already love my precious granddaughter and can't wait to watch her grow up; I plan on being a BIGGG part of her life so now I'm getting fit for her!!!0

that is dumb. Especially if your a young grandma0 -
Bake cookies, sneak your grandkids stuff their parents won't let them have (like cookies before dinner!), always cuddle, and have comfy chairs and couches. Keep a jar or dish full of sweets and treats.
Well, maybe you can find some healthy recipes for cookies or better versions of sweets and treats. Just don't tell the grandkids!0 -
Yo - my Grams is 86, and does more push ups than most people I know. She does 20 every morning when she gets out of bed, and walks almost every day. She will kick your butt!
u grams! 0 -

yep... bake cookies... make breakfast of anything you want to eat..any time you want it...crochet you a special afghan in your favorite colors..... serve tang with pizza from the uncle's bar downstairs.....and slip the odd $5 now and then... or $10. oh and one grandma always gave me 2 paks of juicyfruit gum on halloween because I was the grandchild. I HATE juicy fruit gum.... let you root around in her spare room for interesting things for art class....have the biggest dictionary you've ever seen laying around...make you that special halloween costume....
How cute she slipped you $3. bet she's a dear.....0 -
<
plays beer pong, dances, sings karaoke at the bar, AND bakes cookies! Oh, and wears low-rise flares and a belly-button ring!
To hell with acting or looking like a grandma!0 -
Grandparents today are nothing like the "old grandparents" people think of, we're much younger and look younger. Hell I still listen to the same music I did when I was 20, I totally can relate to my kids who are in their 20's. We text, act goofy, laugh, party, have energy, it's me time! And yes we're having hot sex still.........:)0
