How's Mrs Kenny taking it

She is only going to be a step Granny, so she is fine with it.

step parents/step grandparents rock! still one of the toughest balancing acts going! the rewards are ace though.

I became a step-grandad last September and having had no children of my own, this is the closest I have got and I absolutely adore the little beauty, she is up in Yorkshire so we go up as often as we can to see her and she is simply delightful!

I don't want to hear anything about the reality of the situation. The 3rd child will be an absolute doddle!

Definitely. Like falling off a bike again, and again, and again.

I can relate. No children of my own, but for some reason I have spent a ridiculous amount of time in the womens hospital and in maternity wards! Mrs jelly had 3 daughters when I met her, and no interest in further kids. However she always almost pushed me away feeling me never having kids of my own is something I'd always regret.
Getting fathers day cards/gifts from people I only met halfway through their lives is such an emotional experience though.
As is being trusted with their kids, and everything that comes with it.
I don't regret my choices, but I am constantly grateful to have been accepted into a new family. Even though in the early days one of my stepdaughters hated everything about me. But it's all good now!

Good stuff mate!

I've never particularly wanted kids but I do feel guilty that as an only child I have not given my parents grandchildren but they seem to love little Athena too. I do also worry about me being the end of our line and what will happen to all of our stuff once the 3 of us are gone but I am 51 now and Mrs Lupo is 54 so the chance has definately passed.

Athena only turned 1 just over 3 weeks ago so too early to know if she will like/love me but so far it seems good plus I am there right from the beginning of her life

 

[lemonjelly]

I can relate to a fair bit of that @Lupo .
Fortunately I am not the end of the line. My brother has lads, & I get on ok with them, though am not as close as I'd like. However I hope that bond will grow closer.

As for my/our stuff. Well, someone will have it. I hope some stuff goes to my nephews and they appreciate it, however I think some stuff will go to my stepkids/stepgrandkids in the hope that they love it and what it meant to me also.

I'd have been an utterly shite father but I reckon I'd be a good Grandad.

Settle down young man and let me tell you the tale of how Mark Rankine absolutely robbed the Player of the Season award in 1995. And when I scored from 35 yards at Willenhall Town.
