Just because they have produced children does not guarantee that they will bring them up as one would hope and wish. grandparents have a role but are not always the"role" model. Mazaltov!

I knew it! he couldn't write a blog without his self-agrandisement…I have 2 channukah grandkids…it's amazing, and wonderful. Know what's even better? At the end of every visit, you get to give 'em back! Then, when they get older, they run to you and cry out your name…that's nachas. Enjoy, but leave your impressive CV's out of the celebration; it cheapens it.
