Grandparents for Lease

Are there any children out there that could use some cool grandparents?  I know two people that desperately want to have grandchildren and neither of their children are anywhere close to making that dream come true for them.   Yes, I am pimping out my parents to anyone in need of grandparents for their children!

Both my parents have had grandparent fever pretty bad lately.  Perhaps the 30th birthday of their oldest daughter was a launching point for this latest craze :)  And having children around has definitely not helped the situation.  For instance, on Easter I had the company of my former 7-year-old neighbor.  My sister went and got her an Easter basket.  The little girl was dying to hunt Easter eggs so it became a family event.  I was literaly rolling in the grass laughing at my dad as he hid Easter eggs and then teased the little girl about where they were possibly located.  That same night I was at our church's Easter chior concert with my mother.  Two little girls from a family in her Sunday School class were sitting with us.  My mom absolutely adores these kids, and they adore her.  More than once, I have had someone from my parents' Bible Fellowship class tell me that they talk about wishing they had grandkids.  And if you happen to walk in the room with a baby you better be ready for my dad; he will get a hold of it!   My sister's dog is currently treated as the grandbaby; she gets absolutely anything she wants. 

So somebody help!!!!!  My mom will tell you that she doesn't want my sister or I to have children before it's time and we are ready.  However, I think they are going crazy with the wait!  I've been trying to talk some of my married friends into having babies, but that isn't working!  If we could somehow give them somewhere to focus this energy, I wouldn't feel so bad for my poor grandchildless parents.  I will start taking applications tomorrow :)

  1. I'm working as fast as I can on this, lol! Baby Bennett will definitely be glad to have your parents as "surrogate" grandparents, since both sets of his/her grandparents don't live nearby! He/she will love their Auntie Jen, too!
