Not All Grannies Knit: How to be a Bad Grandmother

Not All Grannies Knit: How to be a Bad Grandmother

by JoanPritchett (Author)

Synopsis

Becoming a grandmother is a strange experience. One minute you're a busy, youthful person getting on with life, and the next minute, Whoosh! You're one of the older generation. Did anyone ask you how you would feel about this? Luckily, help is at hand in the form of this wry and witty guide to grannyhood. From the initial shock ('Is this going to be a nuisance for me?'), to the journey through pregnancy ('Try not to laugh when the expectant couple start talking about how beautiful natural childbirth is'), to the thorny issues of names and the even thornier issue of the competitive Other Grandmother, "Not All Grannies Knit" takes a tongue-in-cheek look at this milestone from the perspective of someone who has never knitted a bootee in her life and doesn't intend to start now, thank you very much. Abundantly illustrated throughout, this is a spirited and irreverent celebration of the joys - and otherwise - of acquiring grandchildren.
