Mothers are mothers but grandmothers are a different species altogether. It's a fact that grandparents play an important role in a child's overall development. Their involvement is needed for kids especially when parents are struggling to balance work and home.Having grandparents around will provide the child with many things that parents will never be able to. And grandmas are the best! Here's why.

THINGS TO LEARN FROM YOUR GRANDMA

Twice The Mother
One main reason as to why grandma's are the best is becauseshe was made to shower love on us and spoil us. More importantly, without any obligation to discipline. That's what makes her more awesome. Looking for some pampering? Grandmas are the best.

Tantrums? Bring It On!
The only person who can handle tantrums without any complaints is a grandma. In fact, she enjoys it so much that she encourages her beloved grandchild to throw tantrums and 'no' is a word rarely heard from her. This is why grandmas are special!

Always On A Feeding Spree
Here is a person who'll cook what you want and not what you need. She'll prepare all your favourite things and man, can she cook! With grandma around, be sure you'll never go empty stomach for more than an hour.

Your Best Playmate
Grandmas have always been our best playmates. All those indoor games we played as kids, most of them were taught by our grandmas. And the best part is that they would always let us win just to savour the delight on our faces. Grandmas are the best. Really!

Our First Confidante
She is the first person we spill all our secrets to. She listens, to our deepest fears, our worries, our questions, and she will be the guiding light throughout our life. And her advice and answers would be the most genuine, since she always thinks about our comfort and happiness.

Always Cheerful
Grandmas are like that. They spread warmth and cheers. Conversations with them are full of life. She has years of stories stored up just for you. No matter how many times she repeats them, it's always delightful to see her light up while narrating them.

Stands Up For You Every Time
If there was ever a person who would stand up for you, it's grandma. Not to say she'll agree to everything but if the reason for you to seek her support is good enough then you've got her by your side. Rock solid!

A Wise Friend
Grandmas are the best when it comes to advice. They have lived their life, seen it all, and experienced many many things. Be sure it is the best advice you'll ever get. You may not know it immediately, but one day you will.

A Delightful Teacher
Grannies have a way of conveying things without sounding preachy. After all, years of experience in dealing with her kids has taught her stuff. She'll not impose but propose and leave the decision making to you. That way, you are free to think for yourself. Real self-esteem promoting stuff. Now thats what makes grandma special.

An Instant Mood-lifter
When the blues hit, making us feel worthless or ignored, a visit to grandma's house can do wonders. Just being around the person who made us feel so special as a kid is comforting. That is the stuff grandmas are made of. Grandmas are indeed the best.
