I am past the kid phase and am on to the cute grandchild phase. It seems to me that grandparents are endlessly indulgent and I have even known my friends & family to deliberately over-indulge the grandchild almost to 'get even' with their own kids. Frankly I am stunned by this and cannot think it is a good idea, but I also feel rather unable to speak simply because of never having had children (and hence no grandkids) myself. It really makes you hesitant.
