My grandmother is in her early 70s and she does great, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-grandparent-can-keep-up#post-2046455 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 21:49:39 +0000 Mae 2046455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Um... in terms of energy really probably a tie between either of my parents and my MIL. All are in very good shape in their mid/late 50s. My parents have a slightly harder time than my MIL getting up/down off the floor with her a lot though because they both have bad knees. They can and do get down on the floor, but not quite as easily as my MIL. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-grandparent-can-keep-up#post-2046320 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 20:30:31 +0000 mediagirl 2046320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha, mine for sure. Then again, they spend more time with her so maybe it's because they're used to her, too? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-grandparent-can-keep-up#post-2046298 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 20:19:38 +0000 MrsF 2046298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My Mom is the only one who I can even imagine caring for both (or either) kid on her own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-grandparent-can-keep-up#post-2046294 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 20:15:31 +0000 MapleMoose 2046294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both of my parents can handle my energetic toddler for a full day. Actually they just had her for a full week at their house when I delivered #2. They didn't want to give her back! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-grandparent-can-keep-up#post-2046263 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 20:00:27 +0000 MOMTOLITTLEB 2046263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are so lucky, they can all last a full day with our 14 month old. I'm afraid they'll get tired eventually. My in laws are older, 67 and 70 but he is their only grandchild and they can't get enough. They joke about him spending the week at their house! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-grandparent-can-keep-up#post-2046256 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 19:56:48 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 2046256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: @blackbird: same here! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-grandparent-can-keep-up#post-2046237 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 19:43:28 +0000 BeachMama 2046237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents are 70 and not in the greatest health but they watch LO 1x weekly each and do just fine. I mean, they can't run around or after her, but they take her out places all the time. My MIL is in much better shape, but whenever she watches DD she talks about how exhausted she is, and half the time falls asleep (if FIL is also there). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-grandparent-can-keep-up#post-2046192 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 19:04:24 +0000 Andrea 2046192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe my mom ... I don't know if she could handle two kids. She is the youngest! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-grandparent-can-keep-up#post-2046106 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 17:48:29 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2046106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely my mom.

She is also the oldest at almost 70. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-grandparent-can-keep-up#post-2046098 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 17:45:47 +0000 mrsjyw 2046098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>the longest with your LO(s)?</p> <p>DS is 26 months. My mom out of all the grandparents can last the longest amount of time (she's our primary caretaker!).</p> <p>ILs and my dad can handle a few hours, but they're wiped out and need a nap after keeping up with a toddler! :P </p>
