When Baby G gets here in June, he/she will have (Lord willing):<br /> Two grandmothers<br /> Two grandfathers<br /> A step-grandmother<br /> A step-grandfather<br /> Three great-grandfathers<br /> FOUR great-grandmothers<br /> A step great-grandfather</p> <p>And we're not even that young!! We're both 31. We just got lucky, I guess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-grandparents-and-great-grandparents-will-your-lo-have/page/2#post-13088 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 22:33:26 +0000 erinpye 13088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>16:<br /> 1 great, great grandmother<br /> 3 great grandfathers (one is a step)<br /> 4 great grandmothers (again, one is a step)<br /> 2 grandmothers<br /> 2 step-grandmothers<br /> 2 grandfathers<br /> 1 step-grandfather</p> <p>Besides my step mother who has 2 grandchildren already, and one of the great- grandmothers who already has some great grands, this is everyone on the list's first grand baby, great grand baby, or in the case of my great nana, her first great great grand baby.

My grandmother is suffering from scleroderma and I think her time may come soon. My grandfather is still doing well though he had major heart surgery when I was about 10 or 11. His grandparents aren't in the best of health either, but are managing. I can only hope all four of them will be around when the time comes. I was lucky enough to grow up 22 years with my great grandmother on mom's side. She was a great woman. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-grandparents-and-great-grandparents-will-your-lo-have#post-12598 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 14:22:33 +0000 SugarplumsMom 12598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2 grandmas<br /> 1 grandpa<br /> 2 maternal great-grandads<br /> 2 great-granmas, both maternal &amp; paternal</p> <p>The great-grandparents are getting pretty old, I hope our LO will get to meet them.

Both me and husband have step parents so she made out with 7 grandparents and 4 great grandparents. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-grandparents-and-great-grandparents-will-your-lo-have#post-12587 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 14:13:40 +0000 mediagirl 12587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our child will have 4 grandparents (our Moms and Dads - no divorces, so no step-grandparents) and 1 great-grandmother. My Gram lives in Cleveland and my cousin is getting married there in November 2012. I think that's when we'll go up and introduce our little one to her. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-grandparents-and-great-grandparents-will-your-lo-have#post-11224 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 20:33:50 +0000 eeh 11224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh man, this is something I have cried and cried about. Our kids will have all 4 grandparents (God willing nothing happens between now and then). On my side though, there will only be one great grandparent and health is declining. The part I have cried buckets over is my kids not meeting my other grandparents. They meant the world to me and I would give anything to have them back to meet my kids. Luckily, my husband still has all 4 grandparents that our kids will get to experience. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-grandparents-and-great-grandparents-will-your-lo-have#post-11219 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 20:25:35 +0000 cyndistar3 11219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our daughter has way too many grandparents... There is my mom and dad, my dad's girlfriend,, DH's adoptive mom and step dad, as well as DH's adoptive dad and his wife.

Unfortunately, the best great-grand on my side has gone more or less insane (Alzheimer's - thinks he's in WWII) - I'm very sad that neither my husband nor my kids really get to meet him. And the great-grand who looked after me when I was little may be looney toons by the time I have kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-grandparents-and-great-grandparents-will-your-lo-have#post-11173 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 19:41:52 +0000 L2sweetpea 11173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our daughter has all 4 grandparents and 2 great grandparents.

One is in a nursing home and somewhat abusive, so we aren't comfortable taking him there. He also has all 4 of his grandparents because all of our parents are still alive. He hasn't met my dad, though, mostly because he's a loser. I say he's better off, though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-grandparents-and-great-grandparents-will-your-lo-have#post-10046 Sat, 05 Nov 2011 13:30:29 +0000 BSB 10046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our child will have 5 grandparents (my husband's mother remarried).<br /> As for great grandparents, our child will only have one and I don't think they will ever meet.
