  1. 🗞️ New @ConversationUK article by CPC-CG and CRA members Maria Evandrou & Athina Vlachantoni:

    #Grandparental #childcare is an important part of the #caring ecosystem for many #families in the UK. Closer attention to #grandparent #care and how it is experienced differently in different #ethnic communities can offer a more nuanced understanding of #healthyageing, #family bonds and #labourmarket participation.

  2. From Mogul to Most Wanted:

  3. We are thrilled to announce the arrival of Finn Campbell, the second grandchild of @suzystarlite and myself. He joins our wonderful granddaughter, Emma (4), children of our son Joe and his wife Christina. We are celebrating with a bottle of red wine by the turbulent Oceano Atlântico in honour of Finn's birth. Our eldest son, James, and his wife Sarah also have one in the oven! #grandparent #birthday #UK #love #celebration #life

  4. Eight years ago on a lark I changed my grandkid's diaper and sealed it with gaff tape. After I sent them back I sat at home waiting for the call. It never came.

    Apparently this was too on brand for me that it didn't even warrant notice.

  5. #GrandParent advice sought – that’s not *too much* spoiling for granddaughter’s first Xmas, is it? 🤣

    This Xmas could have ended up a lot leaner for us, but some things came together suddenly and we’re in a lucky (nay, privileged) position that we *can* spoil our darling granddaughter after all.

    I know this can be hard season for many reasons, but I hope you all get the love and support you all deserve over the break, and that you can support those you love in return.

    Happy Holidays, everyone!

  6. New research shows that having healthy grandparents nearby can be good for a mother’s mental health, especially when her kids are young.

    Researchers at Univ of Helsinki, Umeå University, and Tilburg University looked at 488,000 moms of children age 12 and under in Finland. They found that moms were less likely to experience depression (measured by antidepressant purchases) if their parents are under age 70, employed, and have no severe health issues. Grandparents living especially close (within about 6 miles) was also linked to lower depression for mothers.

  7. Hello Mastodoners! This afternoon I received a phone call from 217-601-0003 from some scammer who claimed to be my "grandson" but could not give me a name or which of my kids is his parents.

    Beware of this scam! If you get a call from "Hello, Grandma?" who can't tell you their name, HANG UP. If you want to, you can tell them FUCK OFF before hanging up. #Scam #Grandparent #Mazeldon

  8. I haven't found any monarch caterpillars yet this year (only spotted one adult so far) so I ordered some painted lady caterpillars to raise with my grandson. Most of them emerged yesterday and we had a magical time releasing them into the garden.

  9. I'm in charge!
    Promoted to be the sole adult (?) in the house with the two #grandchildren

    Mrs Mike has been called out to her #volunteering job.

    It's a bit of a pity that mum is due to be collecting them soon or we could get up to some silly stuffs.

    That's the thing about being a #grandparent - you can do the ridiculous things with a clear conscience

  10. I’m so happy for my son and his wife and I’m so excited about meeting my first grandchild later this year! ❤️🫃

  11. #nonbinaryawarenessweek

    You know we are all unique! There is no such thing as a standard or a typical #nonbinary look or behavior.

    You can be #fem #masc have facial hair, boobs, body hair, be a child, #adult, #parent, #mom, #dad, #grandparent and your clothing style can be literally anything from #skirts to #boardshorts from #ties to #goldchains

    Non-Binary folx can be #gay, #straight, #asexual, #polysexual or any level of expression of love!

    If you have not noticed, I am #trans on #HRT and I am #nonbinary

    You do not have to be on hormones or ever go out of your way to dress in a a way that is different than you did before identifying as non-binary.

    Be you. Be amazing. Be non-binary!

    I LOVE YOU!!!!

  12. Apparently The Boy found a small ball at the party and spent much of his time kicking it and running after it and kicking it again.

    As a result, his mama signed him up for #football when they got home. He starts a three week trial (!) on 6th May. He isn’t even two yet!

    As a responsible #grandparent with unrestricted access to #Vinted, I have of course since made sure he’ll be suitably attired. 😁

  13. So I suppose I should toot an #introduction. I teach #media at the #universityofwestminster. I’m a #PhD dropout (#Lacan and public opinion). I’m always learning how to look after my #mentalhealth and beat my #depression. The best thing I’ve done recently is become a #grandparent. #Music has become more important to me with every passing year. I am simultaneously terrified by and angry about #climatebreakdown. We must stop #capitalism before it stops all of us. Oh, and #dogs are magical.

  14. Hi, Sheryl here. Reintroducing myself with hashtags. I’m a kid’s book author, doggie owner, gardener and grandma. Looking for a kinder, gentler social media platform to interact with new and old friends. Another newbie to the site, so please forgive any missteps while I find my way around. #kidsbooks #kidlit #picturebooks #author #grandparent #educator #west-coast #gardener #dogmum #mastodonnewbie

  15. #Introduction: I focus on #DisasterLaw in my niche professional interests.

    I love being a #grandparent, enjoy #trailrunning, #backpacking, #camping, and #swimming while trying to get back into #BJJ (schedule conflicts). Used to be an avid road biker but it is just too dangerous (for me) in #NorthCarolina.
