I believe it's been renamed "special person day" in my school area. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-know-theres-a-grandparents-day#post-776901 Sun, 12 May 2013 21:28:42 +0000 cheesetomywhine 776901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did since it sometimes falls on my birthday. In elementary school our grandparents were invited for lunch. This past year I made cards with R's footprint :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-know-theres-a-grandparents-day#post-776847 Sun, 12 May 2013 20:54:33 +0000 lilteacherbee 776847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I knew about it because it always falls around my birthday (Sept 8). Growing up, we never really celebrated it though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-know-theres-a-grandparents-day#post-776841 Sun, 12 May 2013 20:50:56 +0000 T-Mom 776841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I knew there was a grandparents day but so far I have just ignored it since we celebrate the grandparents on mothers/ Father's Day. I will probably continue ignoring it until I just can't any more ;-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-know-theres-a-grandparents-day#post-776802 Sun, 12 May 2013 20:10:06 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 776802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know about Grandparent's day but I doubt I'll ever celebrate it or encourage the LOs to celebrate it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-know-theres-a-grandparents-day#post-776796 Sun, 12 May 2013 20:05:55 +0000 runsyellowlites 776796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When G was in school they always had a grandparents day where they invited the grandparents to come see a performance &amp; get some hand-made things.</p> <p>I don't think I'd really like making a big celebration separate though. It's really difficult to not celebrate your grandma/pa on Mother's/Father's day just b/c family is usually all together so to celebrate then AND another day just seems like a lot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-know-theres-a-grandparents-day#post-776794 Sun, 12 May 2013 20:03:06 +0000 Charm54 776794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've heard about it but we've always celebrated grandmas and grandpas on mothers/fathers day </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-know-theres-a-grandparents-day#post-776760 Sun, 12 May 2013 19:47:21 +0000 Smurfette 776760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! I usually always send my grandma a card. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-know-theres-a-grandparents-day#post-776755 Sun, 12 May 2013 19:45:06 +0000 heffalump 776755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I heard about it last year, it was all over Facebook. We never celebrated growing up so I don't think I'll start now. We gave mothers day gifts (homemade card) from lo to her grandparents. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-know-theres-a-grandparents-day#post-776750 Sun, 12 May 2013 19:41:39 +0000 tequiero21 776750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>oh boy, another day to get gifts lol. i didn't do any presents from the LOs for mothers day. i'll wait til grandparents' day! for mother's day, the grandmothers are still mothers. so i'll still get them gifts from me and my hubby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-know-theres-a-grandparents-day#post-776480 Sun, 12 May 2013 16:16:40 +0000 autumnlove 776480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never heard of it and I probably wouldn't want to celebrate on a separate day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-know-theres-a-grandparents-day#post-776471 Sun, 12 May 2013 16:03:06 +0000 mrbee 776471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mother's Day is kind of complicated, with new moms and old moms both being celebrated on the same day. So I did a quick Google to see if there was a Grandma's/Grandpa's day as well! </p> <p>Turns out there is: in the US, Grandparents Day is "the first Sunday after Labor Day, in September. It falls on ... September 8, 2013." More on the day: "The holiday is expected to grow in significance over the next decade and beyond as the number of grandparents in the United States rises from 65 million in 2011 to 80 million in 2020 as a result of the baby boom. Grandparents in America are also increasingly responsible for child care and support. In 2012 30% of children under five with working mothers were cared for on a regular basis by a grandparent."</p> <p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Grandparents_Day#United_States" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Grandparents_Day#United_States</a></p> <p>Would you celebrate Grandparents Day? Once you become a Grandparent, would you want a separate day or would you want to still celebrate Mothers's/Father's Day? </p>
