HOW TO BE A GHASTLY GRANDPARENT... AND HAVE FUN! contains guidance for a stress-free life for grandparents... everything you need to know to make you the absolute last resort when your children and grandchildren ask you to bail them out yet again.

You raised your offspring. You endured twenty years of patience-stretching tantrums, teenage mood swings, constant raids on your bank account, mind-blowing pop music and the constant 'I'm right, you're wrong' arguments. From soiled nappies to moving into their first home... It seemed it would never end. The tears of joy you shed at your children's weddings were a sign that you, at long last, had your life back. You were a free agent again. Woo-hoo!

Now you've done your bit to keep the human race going you can look forward to watching (from a distance) your children suffer the exact same traumas of married life as you did. You have a great deal of first-hand experience... if they never took your advice before, why should they now? Because they're starting their own families, that's why. Take care, or you'll be roped in to share the pain. For another twenty years...

But don't worry! This book will help you to enjoy your grandparenting years. It is packed with advice on how to wind-up your grown-up children who've now become parents themselves and offers plenty of great tips on idiosyncratic behaviour that will be great fun for you to fine-tune.

It's pay-back time... in the nicest possible way!
