I'm too young for this

I'm 39.

I still like to go to concerts.

I watch Nascar and drink beer.

I play video games online.

I goof around with friends at work, making them laugh.

I have a 10 year old child.

Those things make me young, right?  39 is young?  I thought it was.

Brett called me last night.  I'm going to be a grandma.  I haven't even met his girlfriend yet.

What can you do?  We'll just be there for them, and help however we can.  I've been moaning about wishing there was a baby around for me to play with.  Careful what you wish for.  I didn't mean  for one of my boys to produce one for me.  LOL

Deep breaths.  It's going to be fine.  I was that age when he was born.  I was married, but I was still only 19.  He survived my lack of parental skills.

I haven't reacted yet.  I'm not sure how to react.

I am a first timer here. I love what i read and your photos are stunning.Your going to be a young grandma. Congratulations,How to react is to give the parents to be a nice hug and say  that your there for them both.    A lot better than shouting. Whats done is done shouting never solves the problem.
Love and hugs

I think you all will be fine! You can take the new grandchild to your Mom's to ride horses...play with animals. Your grandchild will know his/her great grandparents! I think that is wonderful!

I was younger than you when I became a grandma. You get to smell a baby's head again, lucky you.
