Grandparent Quotes

Honest lines on grandparenthood, from delight to disinterest.

One quote captures the classic grandparent privilege - indulging grandchildren while parents stay the bad guy - and even calls grandparents 'subversive and naughty' with the kids. Another treats grandparenthood as a legacy question, about handing off a nation and its farmland in better shape than it was found.

Cinema gives you the opportunity to be both a grandparent and a grandchild whereas in life you cannot be both at the same time.

Quotes by Abbas Kiarostami

That's the privilege of being a grandparent - they can indulge the children while parents have to be the bad guy. Grandparents can also be subversive and naughty with them.

Quotes by Toby Stephens

The only legacy I seek is the one that any grandparent seeks - that is, to hand off our nation... our fields and our farms to the next generation in better shape than we found it.

Quotes by Sonny Perdue

Being a grandparent is whole new phase in your life.

Quotes by Kevin Whately

Bad Quotes

Being a grandparent doesn't interest me whatsoever. Babies are all right if they're your own, but I'm not interested in other people's. It's something you tolerate because they are yours.

Quotes by Angela Bowie
