First grandchild on both sides?

twirlerbride · August 2009

Just wondering how many other people are in this situation. Our families are totally excited, as are we. I have a feeling this baby will be completely spoiled and will always have someone holding her!

I know this is a random thought, an e-mail from a family member just made me think about this again.

Moi. I'm an only child, and the hubs for whatever reason is the first to have a baby on his side!

Spoiled baby? Yes. I can only assume.

mrsmel · August 2009

yup. first great grandchild on my side, too. this kid doesn't know what he's in for.

I was a first grandchild and great grandchild on both sides, and will be having the same on my side, first grandson on DH's side.

They will be more spoiled, guaranteed:)

Yup, our little girl will be first grandchild on both sides. My DH is the oldest of three on his side, and I am the only girl of two on my side.

So yeah, let the spoiling begin. ::sigh::

Just on DH's side. My sister has 2 kids. Its the first great grandchild on only one side of DH's family as well. Im glad she gets both to be celebrated as a first but still has other kids in the family to play with.

Everytime I mention that our babe will be the first grandchild on both sides to a stranger, they proclaim how our child will be spoiled rotten because of it :-)

Yep, first grandchild on both sides here. She is going to be totally spoiled! My DH is an only child and I have three sisters who don't have kids (yet).. so not only will she be spoiled by her grandparents but she'll have three doting aunts to deal with as well.

that'd be us...I'm an only child & my husband has a brother who's still single so ours will be the first. I think our child is going to be spoiled rotten!

merjmm · August 2009

Here too!

jstone03 · August 2009

Yep. First, and probably only, grandchild on my side. I'm an only child and my cousin isn't having any, so the whole family is waiting for this kid. My husband is oldest on his side, so first grandkid for them too. I'm going to have to do a LOT of damage control so he doesn't grow up spoiled rotten.

lovesazzie · August 2009

Yep, ours will be the first grandchild on both sides. I was too. Smile

I definitely agree that the first grandchild is spoiled and gets special treatment... although that probably depends on the family!

Temp534591562502098 · August 2009

first for my side, 2nd for Dh's side but first in about 4 years so they are ready for a baby again! We are OOT from everyone but still, yes, everyone is crazy excited!

Monsieur_et_Madame_Ha · August 2009

Same here. Although SIL is only 16 weeks behind me, so Bebe Ha won't be an only grandchild for very long : )

wingsfan524 · August 2009

Our son was the first on both sides and he was/is extremely spoiled, mainly on gifts though. Someone is always buying him something.

ChicaT415 · August 2009

here too! All of our sibilings are single and we are the oldest!

NorBryDE · August 2009

first on both for us. I'm almost glad in a way that our families live 2.5 hours away, I can accept the spoiling when we go home, but if they were closer, it'd be bad!

Jackieb3808 · August 2009

Wink US too! and will be for awhile... Dh's sister & brother, and my brother are all 19, and I dont see any of them rushing into any relationships anytime soon...

And on my side, my brother wont have kids for along time... hes responsible, and ill probly have 2 or more before he decides to settle down lol...

Bring on spoiling.. now just hopefully he can learn to walk n be put down at some point

shelby9201 · August 2009

Over here too! DH is an only child and my brother married a woman who will definitely not be having any. This little girl is going to be so very loved & hopefully not too spoiled!

MA&CB · August 2009

Yep, first grandchild on both sides. And first great grandchild for both of my grandparents, but not his.

This is me and agreed!

arob2009 · August 2009

Yep, we are in the same boat. My husband's cousin just had a baby this year. But, 1st grandchild for our parents!

mari_gold · August 2009

Me too.This will be the first grandchild on both sides and likely the only one for a while. Our kid will definitely be spoiled by the grandparents, although we live hours away from both sides, so that'll be limited.

maschmidt16 · August 2009

me too! DH and I both have a brother but my brother is not likely to be in a relationship anytime soon and my BIL's fiance has no interest in having anything other than furbabies. So it leaves DH and I to procreate for the both families Stick out tongue

I am definitely taking advantage of it. Both moms are on-board for PT daycare when I go back to work. Yes

jwpbride · August 2009

Noah will be the first grandchild on both sides and the first GREAT grandchild on my side!

mrsh1020 · August 2009

I'm in the same boat! The grandparents are already "warning" us that she will be spoiled... for all of their talk, I son't think they'll go too overboard though.

sjp · August 2009

DS (now 4) is the only grandchild on both sides--and until very recently none of my cousins had kids either--yes he is spoiled, but we make sure he knows how fortunate he is and that others have less--we always have him "give" some of his b-day and holiday gifts to charity.

first grandchild on both sides! Big Smile

well, technically not for my mom, but considering she doesn't have a relationship with my half-brother, who's 20 years older than me and lives in Poland, or my niece, 2 months OLDER than me, this is pretty much her first grandchild she'll be watching grow up.

and my grandmother is so excited for her first great-grandchild! especially since she lives in Argentina, she will actually get to meet the LO next spring for my wedding! whoo!
