My grandparents (mum's side only) had the ability to override my mum when she was being strict which was ace....Mum- No sweets before dinner!
Granny- Oh go on, just take a few, it'll be alright.
Me- Yes granny! (selective ignoring mum)
Mum- No opening christmas presents before lunch!
Grandad- Oh don't be so dull, you can't expect kids to wait. Let them open 3 before and the rest after.
Me- Yes grandad! (selectively ignoring mum).
Mum- You're not allowed to watch ITV as all the programs are poor quality rubbish.
Gran and Grandad - We'll just watch 3-2-1 and Metal Mickey and Make Me Laugh before tea.
Me- Me too please!
Mum- impotent for the duration.
Of course these things move on and now when I'm trying to be strict with my daughter and my parents interject with 'oh it'll be alright' and I just want to ask them why the hell they didn't mellow out, oooh, say about 25 years before so I would have had the benefit of it then...no fair!
