I'm one of the same - I believe the stereotype is 'incredibly
indulgent'.  One is supposed to spoil them.  Of course, one of our
favorite t-shirts reads:

Grandparents To Do List:
1. Feed grandchildren lots of sugar
2. Send them home

Have you heard about me being on the family fast track?  I went from
no prospects to being a grandfather in two years.
