No way could the Grannies stick to their own consequences of no free babysitting, no buying kids' fundraiser items! That punishes themselves more than the parents - they'd be denying themselves time with the kiddos, and having to say "no" when those sweet little faces ask them to by popcorn or cookies!
Exactly, they should have had the kids in there while they were negotiating. All they had to do was threaten to not let the grandma's see the babies and they would have won.
The grandma on the left has that real 'grandma power' that makes me wanna get right with Jesus. I almost caught myself saying 'yes ma'am' after she spoke! Loved it.
She totally seems like the type that I would bet you real money if her kids got out of line when they were younger she probably had some real "come to Jesus" meetings with their backsides and a switch.
Actual conversation I overheard my daddy have with my 3 year old… Granddad “you didn’t eat your lunch, don’t you want a treat?” Grandson “I didn’t like my sandwich” Granddad “ok, only 1 ice cream bar then” 🤣
Hahaha lol, those kids are way too easy. I was a terrible eater as a kid and my great grand uncle tried to advise my mum and told her that if the kids of his daughter wouldn't eat, they would be told they couldn't have dessert. Me, overhearing this and in all seriousness: thank God, then I don't have to eat that either. I didn't give a crap about dessert or treats when I didn't want to eat more, I didn't want to eat more, period.
Our kids always got the sugary cereals, dollar-store candy/cookies, etc. with the Grammies. Both were careful to remind them that this was “something we do at Grammy’s.” One of our kids went through a “you’re not my real parents” stage (all our kids are adopted). My mom responded, “Well, I only send candy and birthday presents to my *real* grandkids.” That ended the nonsense right there!
@@mrrpggamer2 I can't say that my grandparents actually spoiled me, but I spoil my granddaughter as much as I can. My Nanny, my mom's mother, passed away young. She was only 42, therefore I was the only grand she ever got to see. So when my granddaughter came along, I decided to make our relationship the very best it could be. No regrets. She's my best friend. Well, as much as a 4 year old can be lol. I turn 50 in a month and I cherish every moment with her. I have seven altogether, but she's my only biological one. Plus she is the only one who lives nearby. The others are about seven hours away. The littlest is just seven months old, born only eight days before my husband passed away. The first grandson. He was really looking forward to that baby. So I believe in spoiling them rotten. And never wasting a day when it comes to them. We never know how long we will get with them so I say take pictures, no matter how awful you look. Sing songs, make silly videos, do everything you can to create the very best memories. One day that will be all they have of us. The main thing is, never let them doubt how much they are loved.y grand and I have a thing I started when she was teeny tiny. I would say it to her until she was big enough to talk. Now we ask each other "How much do I love you?". The answer "Way past forever!!!!!" Once I asked her if she knew what they meant and of course she didn't. So you explained that it means no matter what, I will never never never NEVER stop loving you. She's incorporated that into the saying now as well. That is our special thing. And it means the absolute world to me. I know I was loved, and SPOILED, but was too little to remember any of it. This little girl will never forget how special and just how loved she is. At least not if I have anything to do about it! ❤️
Isn't this any grandma ever?? When we stayed with my Nanna it was breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner, supper and a full tin of cookies just in case you got hungry in between 😏 Then she'd try to load us up with cookies, cakes and candies for the road. My parents be like "cos it's a desert out there and you'll never see a real meal again"
A gal who stayed with us ( through "workaway" ) while traveling the world (after quitting her high stress job at a bank in Switzerland) told us the true story of when she went to Italy with a friend to her grandparent's ( I think, or another fairly close relative) house. The friend warned this gal pretty well, but she was still amazed (and nearly in danger of getting ill ! ) at how much Grandma fed them for lunch. It lasted for about 2 hours, had many, many dishes among the few courses, and at the end she was supposed to also eat a fried egg, and stick around for desert ! It was a hilarious story ( NO offense meant to any Italian mammas and grandma's out there !!! ), and so homey and special, too :) . Seriously tho, a very funny true story !
YES!! Have the 2 grandma's pitted against each other the entire video, then at the end, they join forces. I picture them sitting outside with hats and sunglasses, and the kids being upset that they can't get their way and going "Let's ask Grandpa!" Then as they run off, the grandma's cheers each other with a mason jar glass of sweet tea with the appropriate lemon slices. Lol!

Grandparents are needed no matter their grandchild's age. I remember when my grandma was 99 and she said she wished that her grandma.was still around to answer her questions and help. She was a true southern grandma. We're all doomed if she still felt inadequate at 99!
@@pyaeminhtut1177 I feel for everyone who didn't get to grow up with loving grandparents. Having four adults who thought I was cool just bc I was their grandchild was amazing.

Hahaha, I haven’t heard soap operas called stories since my grandma. This made me smile and brought a tear to my eye. Miss my grandmas. I used to serve drinks and food to the grandparents when they played cards. I could poor a perfect beer by age 8. I am not ashamed and my grandparents were not horrible grandparents, just a different time.
"If I don't hear your voice, it don't count". Man, I felt that. It wasn't an issue between me and Mom but rather my sister and Mom. Mom always said Sis could hide behind her written words but Mom could always pick up what was REALLY going on by the tone in Sis' voice.
Lol I'd call their bluff. Grandma's would be crawling back to the negotiation table after a month of not seeing their grandkids, and I'm being generous with a month.
I liked your comment because, bless your heart. One of my daughters in law pulled the "no more gramma days" stuff with me, once. I let her win. It hurt, but I wasn't about to feed into manipulative drama. It took her almost 4 months to tell me she needed regular breaks. That was 10 years ago. Gramma day is STILL every other weekend.
@@theresaalexander4142 4 months without seeing your grandkids is really sad. I want to be clear that I'm not advocating parents withholding their children from their grandparents. Mine have an open invitation to come see our little girl anytime they want to, and she goes over to their house as well. But if my child's grandparents "unionized" and demanded 2 daily phone calls, every other weekend family meals, 3 extended family trips, and unlimited sweets while children were in their care to the point that the child comes home with a stomach ache, yeah I'd have to call them on those demands.
@@theresaalexander4142 well I think there was manipulative drama but not your Daughter in law. Personally I would've kept my kids from my MIL forever because she did not respect me. I was a "northerner" and unworthy of her son. She spent waaay more time with my kids than my own parents, but was angry because we refused to move to the same town so she could see my kids every day. I missed my kids every day they were gone and did not need any breaks.
Grannies always win. Man, I miss my Grandma - she used to give me so much sweets and tuck ten dollar bills in my backpack. Rest in peace Grandma🙏🙏. I love you so much❤️.
I nearly fell out of my chair!!! I listen to you between calls for work anyone who is in the South, if they don't know about you....they do by the end of the call!!!!
I was blessed as a child. I had my maternal grandmother and her sisters and sisters-in-law. All but one was strict about not giving us too many sweets. Not my paternal Granny. Asked me what I wanted for breakfast. My answer was "cherry pancakes with Hershey's syrup and a Dr Pepper." and that's what I got! Our parents would complain. But, "Granny's house, Granny's rules." She sent us home pinging EVERY time. We all survived just fine and miss her dearly.
I love it, but I know the mom in me would have ruined that fun! 😂 My mom tried not listening to my rules when my kids were little and I told her if she can’t follow my rules she no longer gets to see my kids. I was a bit intense about my kids when they were babies!
I'm not a granny but I sure filled my niece and nephews up with candy after we left Chuck E. Cheese. My brother and SIL could never understand why the kids could never fall asleep when they got home from their outing. 🤣
My sister has a Granny code: Love 'em up, hug 'em up, SUGAR 'em up...then send 'em HOME. (I suspect this is payback for her kids acting like brats when they were little). 🤣🤣🤣👍💖
Be very careful what you wish for; you may very well get it, and it can bite you in the hindquarters mighty hard (saying you'd "do anything;" that can carry a price you simply cannot pay).
My grandfather uses me for 24hr tech support. Sometimes he'll text me something on accident like a few random letters or random punctuation. If you try to get ahold of him though, you'll have to track him down. He doesn't need an iPhone, he needs a pair of fancy future contact lenses that flash a message directly onto his eyes. It's the only way he'll get any texts in a timely manner.
You forgot a "Bless your heart" in that meeting. I am sure a Granny would have said it, you know I'm right. I always know I am doing something stupid when I hear it. Have a great evening everyone.
Lol! Those are some tough grannies! When they gave the granny glare and refused to sit, I thought it was because they expected him to be a gentleman and pull out the chairs for them. I didn't expect rockers. However, comfortable rockers are more granny appropriate seating anyway.
My real southern grandmother was cranky and critical but her cousin - our aunt Polly was one of those warm generous ones who fed us constantly. We adored her and NO ONE was going to tell her what to feed or not feed anyone. Adults and children fed on wonderful biscuits and perfect fried chicken. What is not covered in this video is the children learning the difference between saying “yes” and “yes ma’am”. If the proper phrase was not used, all interaction stopped and you could hear a pin drop until ma’am or sir was added to whatever one was saying. Cranky or cheerful grandma didn’t matter on this question. The entire Grandma Union was unanimous on this point.
My grandmother would've never joined this. She was such a perfect ray of sunshine that all she had to do was smile at you, and you were like, "How can I help out? Cannot let her be sad."
I miss my Grandma. My parents and in-laws never really assumed the grandparent role with my kids. Our sibling's kids on the other hand... 😠 I really hate that my kids missed out on having real grandparents. 😮💨🥲😞
Sorry to hear about the favoritism. My parents did not do that my sisters never got married nor had children. They managed to ignore me and my kids anyway.
I miss my Gramma. And my Granny. (They had different names so we could tell them apart.) And yeah, my parents have one excuse after another for not coming to see the grandkids. But they never seem to miss visiting my sister (who doesn't have kids).
My in-laws are violent bigots. So, I don’t allow them around my children or myself. Thankfully though, my parents are loving. Though they still struggle having the children for extended periods of time as they have health issues and my children have special needs. I’m so sorry that you don’t have anyone able to fill that grandparent role for your children. But growing up I didn’t have that either and I honestly didn’t miss anything. If/when you have grandchildren, you can break that cycle and be there for your grand babies 💞
I’m sorry. I know how that is. My parents were wonderful grandparents, but my husband’s parents were lousy. My son has no relationship with them and sees them at most once a year. As he said, they made that choice, he didn’t. My parents adored him.
this actually kinda happened once with my cousin while i was staying at my grandmothers. I have never seen anything as petty drama filled, and hilarious all at once. that's also the only time i ever saw my grandmother get that mad.
My grandma is a lot like these southern grannies. Sweet, but steel. My grandmother, on the other hand, was horrible. She wanted me to give my child up for adoption. She didn't say it to me, but to my dad, her son. He nearly threw her out of his house. I had the first grandchild, and the only girl. She looks me in the eye and tells me that she's the favorite.
Considering my grandparents dip into my parents bank I can hear them say "DONE! No more discussions it's not working out, please go on strike for as long as you please."
I had two Southern grandmas when I lived in Pittsburgh. And yes, I got lots of treats. Candy, ice cream, soda pop. When my parents came to pick me up, I didn't want to leave. I was like, "I wanna live with Grandma!"
Never fails to be both accurate and funny lol. My mom loves both her recliner and rocking chair and always has even back when we did live in SC where I’m from. She had a rocking chair on both the front porch and back patio and back porch also in the living room next to her recliner lol.
When he said send a text I thought they'd go off on "You expect us to be happy with that tiny print?" 😄 Why is nobody mentioning the rocking chairs? Was a great touch!
Love it!!! But I do have small issue what about us papaws that have done all the taking care of and spoiling the grand kids as well as all the cooking for the whole family humm. I love this channel keep up the great work
Hilarious! The granny videos are my favorite!!!! (Sending to my daughter so she will understand the treats I give my grandsons. ) GUILTY! Can never resist!😂😂😂
I became a southern Granny at age 45. I still have people that try to tell me Granny sounds too old. But the granddaughter is 8 now, she's on Granny's side 😂
So glad my mother in law doesn’t feel that way about texts. If she did she’d probably never hear from either of her sons. Both of them do pick up on the rare occasions she calls though.
My Mom would remind my Dad, I reminded my husband (when had one) and my brother (his wife also reminds him) to call his mother on her birthday, holidays, and at lest every other week. It's one of those thing in the fine print of the marriage license (like the husband keeping his wife's feet warm at night and taking out the trash) the wife becomes the husband's social security and carries his wallet and keys in her purse when he has to do something and can't hang onto them for a time.
Neither my grandmom, great aunts, nor my mother were sweets dispensers. They did all kinds of great stuff with kids -- day trips, museum visits, fishing, gardening, looking at stuff with a microscope, letting the kids play with their animals. Imagine my surprise when the other grandmother was stuffing the kids full of sugar. I was like, what the hell?! People actually do this to kids?
@@galamander_1327 no. It is a myth. Children generally have high energy and if they get compulsive......well,thats why there is an adult to manage the situation isn't there? All over the world, past and present children have been introduced to sugary treats, yet only countries like America and the UK seem to be having issues with obesity. I'd say fast food has a morr negative effect on obesity than sweets. What sets a child up for a life of healthy eating is what they eat most of the time and not the occasion sweets they get from grandma/pa.
@@canesugar911 I was only speaking of my personal lived experience and my observations. It's rude to call what I experienced "a myth". I made no blanket pronouncements about everyone everywhere. And in my experience, the older people whom I was referring to as "sweets dispensers" weren't exercising any moderation. Yet their behavior was dismissed as "okay because that's what grandparents do". I found that shocking. It wasn't my culture. That is all. Edited to add: sure, kids have "high energy" as you say. So do I, still, as an adult. What of it?
@@galamander_1327 it is rude to call grandparents who are trying to treat their grandchildren "sweets dispensers", it is rude to make a false assertion that children get sugar highs, as it has been scientifically debunked. Children are hyperactive because they naturally have a lot of energy. It is rude to assert that these families are knowingly and maliciously giving their children diabetes etc. Your comments are filled with not so nice things about people that have had a different experience to you, yet you have the Affronty to play victim?.......lmao. If you as an adult are hyperactive then you need to go get an evaluation done by a specialist. Word of advice, don't dish it if you can't take it.
My Mom went on strike in the 60s picket sign and all for aprox 1 week . It lasted 6hrs and we all met her requests 😊 with gratitude and a greater respect . Lesson learned . Don’t mess with Mom or Grandmother . I love this clip ❤
I love this! The best treats are the ones my granddaughters and I bake together! It is a total pain in the rump, but we gave the best time! And, even if the treat is a flop we set there and eat them as we laugh over them and figure out how to do better next time. Lol
Oh, and very seldom does anyone else ever watch my grandchildren, that is strictly my domain! The other grandparents live in Hawaii, so don't get to visit much. They are lovely and we love when they visit.
That's when you send the kids to Gran's house for a few days for a vacation. We rarely went on a way vacations when I was a child, but we were frequently sent for stays with my grandma, who lived in the same town.Often these stays were one child at a time. It gave each of us special Grandma-time, and and it didn't tire my grandmother out.
Rolling out the scroll list of treats is beyond funny... 🤣 & The Bank of Grandma is closed..😂 .. You all are outrageous with the demands, ~ hysterical!! Thank you for your video, I've been a sad Grandma because my daughter & son in law and my precious Baby Grands live an hour away from me now 😢 and your skit has brought me some much-needed laughter. Thank you!! God Bless You all! 😇 ❤
My son just watches in awe when I am with his boys. He finally asked if I was the same person that raised him. I said yes but the difference is he was not my grandson.🤣🤣🤣
this was my fave , laughed hard a cried a bit too , my granny would approve that too except she is long gone but god never forgotten , all the love in the world is small when it comes to granny's love for grandkids
I was just talking about those strawberry candies, wondering if they were still around 🤔 I wanted to share them with my kids. One of my favorite childhood candles out of that list lol
My mom tells me that as a small child my grandma gave me spaghettios and chips when she kept me. No matter how many times she was told not to give me junk food. If she didn’t have my favorite snacks on hand she’d send someone to the store. I miss you Grandma. ❤

She scared me, and I'm 70 years old myself!
“I love you enough to not let you continue being the way you are”

"No more free babysitting." Shit just got real...
Well, with what they save on not going on 4 trips a year, maybe they can afford paid babysitting?
I thought they were waiting for Adam to pull the chairs out for them to sit, not for rocking chairs. :)
Ha! I thought it was a power play, standing for intimidation 😆
Yeah, so did I.
First, I thought power play. Then I thought they were waiting for him to pull out the chairs. I wasn't expecting rockers.
Same. But the rocking chairs definitely make sense.
me too, that would have been more logical than rocking chairs. less stereotype too. manners trump rockers.

It's not so much a Union as it is a Mafia.
Never take sides against family.
Hahaha, I haven’t heard soap operas called stories since my grandma. This made me smile and brought a tear to my eye. Miss my grandmas. I used to serve drinks and food to the grandparents when they played cards. I could poor a perfect beer by age 8. I am not ashamed and my grandparents were not horrible grandparents, just a different time.
"If I don't hear your voice, it don't count".
Man, I felt that. It wasn't an issue between me and Mom but rather my sister and Mom. Mom always said Sis could hide behind her written words but Mom could always pick up what was REALLY going on by the tone in Sis' voice.
Lol I'd call their bluff. Grandma's would be crawling back to the negotiation table after a month of not seeing their grandkids, and I'm being generous with a month.
I liked your comment because, bless your heart.
One of my daughters in law pulled the "no more gramma days" stuff with me, once.
I let her win. It hurt, but I wasn't about to feed into manipulative drama.
It took her almost 4 months to tell me she needed regular breaks.
That was 10 years ago.
Gramma day is STILL every other weekend.
@@theresaalexander4142 4 months without seeing your grandkids is really sad. I want to be clear that I'm not advocating parents withholding their children from their grandparents. Mine have an open invitation to come see our little girl anytime they want to, and she goes over to their house as well. But if my child's grandparents "unionized" and demanded 2 daily phone calls, every other weekend family meals, 3 extended family trips, and unlimited sweets while children were in their care to the point that the child comes home with a stomach ache, yeah I'd have to call them on those demands.
@@joshuaparker1251
Yes. Of course.
But, these are exaggerated fiction grandmas. Just for fun.
🙂
@@theresaalexander4142 well I think there was manipulative drama but not your Daughter in law. Personally I would've kept my kids from my MIL forever because she did not respect me. I was a "northerner" and unworthy of her son. She spent waaay more time with my kids than my own parents, but was angry because we refused to move to the same town so she could see my kids every day. I missed my kids every day they were gone and did not need any breaks.
@@karenmiller358
Omniscient are you?
😅😅😅
My grandma has idk 40 grand/great grand kids. She does not want us all calling her everyday. 🤣
My impression was that the calls were to be from the kids, not grandkids.
You're right, 100 calls a day would get old fast.
"TokTik tutorial." "That was choreographed." I had to explain why I was trying to stifle laughter to the surrounding cubicles. Thanks y'all!
"The Bank of Grandma is closed!" My heart hurt when I heard that.
This is absolutely the best video I've seen in a long time!! And as a southern granny I agree with all the demands 😂😂
As a Texas Grandma....I approve this message.
Forget the power grid, petroleum supplies & digital components, if grannies go on strike, world leaders will drop to their knees!
Grannies always win. Man, I miss my Grandma - she used to give me so much sweets and tuck ten dollar bills in my backpack. Rest in peace Grandma🙏🙏. I love you so much❤️.
“Kids are sweet! Give them treats!” had the potential to be a real tongue twister, and these ladies nailed it! 😆
Hello 👋how are you doing?
And now my side's hurt from laughing so hard!! This Grandma is very proud to belong to the Granny's Union!!
When you enter The Grandma Zone, beware.
as the old saying goes: If I knew how wonderful my grandkids would be, I'd have treated their parents better...
The best grandmother skits come from this channel. Premium content!
Ya mean they have more?
I nearly fell out of my chair!!! I listen to you between calls for work anyone who is in the South, if they don't know about you....they do by the end of the call!!!!
Granny pulled out the howitzer and the parents folded like a cheap suit.
I LOVE this video! High fives to the Grandmas' for getting their demands met!!
Yeah, they went straight Nuclear with the "no more free babysitting" thing.
I was blessed as a child. I had my maternal grandmother and her sisters and sisters-in-law. All but one was strict about not giving us too many sweets. Not my paternal Granny. Asked me what I wanted for breakfast. My answer was "cherry pancakes with Hershey's syrup and a Dr Pepper." and that's what I got! Our parents would complain. But, "Granny's house, Granny's rules." She sent us home pinging EVERY time. We all survived just fine and miss her dearly.
Cherry pancakes kinda sounds good, if I’m honest
I love it, but I know the mom in me would have ruined that fun! 😂 My mom tried not listening to my rules when my kids were little and I told her if she can’t follow my rules she no longer gets to see my kids. I was a bit intense about my kids when they were babies!
I'm not a granny but I sure filled my niece and nephews up with candy after we left Chuck E. Cheese. My brother and SIL could never understand why the kids could never fall asleep when they got home from their outing. 🤣
@@esppupsnkits4560 I gave my niece and nephews pizza and brownies for breakfast. They thought they were in heaven.
My sister has a Granny code: Love 'em up, hug 'em up, SUGAR 'em up...then send 'em HOME.
(I suspect this is payback for her kids acting like brats when they were little). 🤣🤣🤣👍💖
I would do anything for some free babysitting.
Ask a lonely grandma whose family is far away. She would likely enjoy being taken out for a meal on occasion or included for holidays.
Be very careful what you wish for; you may very well get it, and it can bite you in the hindquarters mighty hard (saying you'd "do anything;" that can carry a price you simply cannot pay).
I lost it at the "sweets list" 😅😂
Yea the little’s pancreas did too.
My grandfather uses me for 24hr tech support. Sometimes he'll text me something on accident like a few random letters or random punctuation. If you try to get ahold of him though, you'll have to track him down. He doesn't need an iPhone, he needs a pair of fancy future contact lenses that flash a message directly onto his eyes. It's the only way he'll get any texts in a timely manner.
Or you could just call...
You forgot a "Bless your heart" in that meeting. I am sure a Granny would have said it, you know I'm right. I always know I am doing something stupid when I hear it. Have a great evening everyone.
and it would have been a lethal crit. hit.
I said the same thing in my comment!!!! LOL
@@sandralabelle9176 nice bud, hello from the 9th Indiana Company H, old school man.
Lol! Those are some tough grannies! When they gave the granny glare and refused to sit, I thought it was because they expected him to be a gentleman and pull out the chairs for them. I didn't expect rockers. However, comfortable rockers are more granny appropriate seating anyway.
I thought that as well. Did not expect the rockin' chairs.
“Kids are sweet, give them treats!”🤣🤣🤣
That was cute 😂❤
While some grandmothers are awesome, some grandmothers seriously need to learn that there's such a thing as boundaries. 😅
Obviously, you are not a Southerner. Grannies set the boundaries. 😉
@@magaalabamadeplorable5979 lol yea I can tell 😅
My real southern grandmother was cranky and critical but her cousin - our aunt Polly was one of those warm generous ones who fed us constantly. We adored her and NO ONE was going to tell her what to feed or not feed anyone. Adults and children fed on wonderful biscuits and perfect fried chicken. What is not covered in this video is the children learning the difference between saying “yes” and “yes ma’am”. If the proper phrase was not used, all interaction stopped and you could hear a pin drop until ma’am or sir was added to whatever one was saying. Cranky or cheerful grandma didn’t matter on this question. The entire Grandma Union was unanimous on this point.
The free baby sitting broke the deal 😂😂😂😂
This was hilarious. I love the last still shot of the Grandma's holding the signs.
I don’t see a problem with those demands. Can we get the recipe for the secret elixir? 😂😉
YES! 😄😂
Please 🥂🙏🤣
Grannies know THAT is her ultimate weapon and she will probably only share the recipe on her deathbed. 😂
It’s listerine…
The key word is “probably”
Those demands were tough! Bless their hearts.
That would be a terrifying idea. The Russian Mob would be afraid of “The Southern Grannies Union.
The only union where you don’t have to join. You are automatically a member when that first grandchild is born. Love it! 💕
Thank goodness that is for comedy. Imagine the ruckus if this was real. NO, THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
My grandmother would've never joined this. She was such a perfect ray of sunshine that all she had to do was smile at you, and you were like, "How can I help out? Cannot let her be sad."
Thank you for reminding me to call my grandma. She just became a widow for a second time.
Aw man, give your grandma some extra love from us strangers on the internet. What a tough time for her! 💙
I miss my Grandma. My parents and in-laws never really assumed the grandparent role with my kids. Our sibling's kids on the other hand... 😠 I really hate that my kids missed out on having real grandparents. 😮💨🥲😞
Sorry to hear about the favoritism. My parents did not do that my sisters never got married nor had children. They managed to ignore me and my kids anyway.
I miss my Gramma. And my Granny. (They had different names so we could tell them apart.) And yeah, my parents have one excuse after another for not coming to see the grandkids. But they never seem to miss visiting my sister (who doesn't have kids).
My in-laws are violent bigots. So, I don’t allow them around my children or myself. Thankfully though, my parents are loving. Though they still struggle having the children for extended periods of time as they have health issues and my children have special needs. I’m so sorry that you don’t have anyone able to fill that grandparent role for your children. But growing up I didn’t have that either and I honestly didn’t miss anything. If/when you have grandchildren, you can break that cycle and be there for your grand babies 💞
Adopt a Grammy or two from church. Our kids had wonderful grandparents, but that didn’t stop them from acquiring several extras.
I’m sorry. I know how that is. My parents were wonderful grandparents, but my husband’s parents were lousy. My son has no relationship with them and sees them at most once a year. As he said, they made that choice, he didn’t. My parents adored him.
I spit out my coffee when she said "candy crush". That was a LONG time ago 😂😂😂
Y’all are absolutely THE BEST and spot on!!!!
Hello 👋how are you doing?
Southern Grannies should form a political party!
this actually kinda happened once with my cousin while i was staying at my grandmothers. I have never seen anything as petty drama filled, and hilarious all at once. that's also the only time i ever saw my grandmother get that mad.
My grandma is a lot like these southern grannies. Sweet, but steel. My grandmother, on the other hand, was horrible. She wanted me to give my child up for adoption. She didn't say it to me, but to my dad, her son. He nearly threw her out of his house. I had the first grandchild, and the only girl. She looks me in the eye and tells me that she's the favorite.
"actually"
I would like to adopt one of these grannies. I receive none of these benefits from the current grandparents.
Considering my grandparents dip into my parents bank I can hear them say "DONE! No more discussions it's not working out, please go on strike for as long as you please."
Yes, I was always granted a good treat at Grandma's ❤️
I had two Southern grandmas when I lived in Pittsburgh. And yes, I got lots of treats. Candy, ice cream, soda pop. When my parents came to pick me up, I didn't want to leave. I was like, "I wanna live with Grandma!"
Never fails to be both accurate and funny lol. My mom loves both her recliner and rocking chair and always has even back when we did live in SC where I’m from. She had a rocking chair on both the front porch and back patio and back porch also in the living room next to her recliner lol.
When he said send a text I thought they'd go off on "You expect us to be happy with that tiny print?" 😄
Why is nobody mentioning the rocking chairs? Was a great touch!
Love it!!! But I do have small issue what about us papaws that have done all the taking care of and spoiling the grand kids as well as all the cooking for the whole family humm. I love this channel keep up the great work
Power to the papaw
Agree... southern papaws need more love!
A Papaw Strike might be a-comin’ with the Grannies gettin’ theirs and all. 😉
That should be the next video!!!
I'm going to bet that the video of the Grandfathers is in the works.
First grandkid wheedling anything they want...
Hilarious. You folks are amazingly creative and talented.
Hilarious! The granny videos are my favorite!!!! (Sending to my daughter so she will understand the treats I give my grandsons. ) GUILTY! Can never resist!😂😂😂
I became a southern Granny at age 45. I still have people that try to tell me Granny sounds too old. But the granddaughter is 8 now, she's on Granny's side 😂
I was raised by a southern woman, I know how to fight back. Boundaries will be learned the hard way it seems. 😂
So glad my mother in law doesn’t feel that way about texts. If she did she’d probably never hear from either of her sons. Both of them do pick up on the rare occasions she calls though.
My Mom would remind my Dad, I reminded my husband (when had one) and my brother (his wife also reminds him) to call his mother on her birthday, holidays, and at lest every other week. It's one of those thing in the fine print of the marriage license (like the husband keeping his wife's feet warm at night and taking out the trash) the wife becomes the husband's social security and carries his wallet and keys in her purse when he has to do something and can't hang onto them for a time.
I really don't see what's the big deal with talking on the phone.
Neither my grandmom, great aunts, nor my mother were sweets dispensers. They did all kinds of great stuff with kids -- day trips, museum visits, fishing, gardening, looking at stuff with a microscope, letting the kids play with their animals. Imagine my surprise when the other grandmother was stuffing the kids full of sugar. I was like, what the hell?! People actually do this to kids?
Yes. So?
Lame
@@galamander_1327 no. It is a myth. Children generally have high energy and if they get compulsive......well,thats why there is an adult to manage the situation isn't there? All over the world, past and present children have been introduced to sugary treats, yet only countries like America and the UK seem to be having issues with obesity. I'd say fast food has a morr negative effect on obesity than sweets. What sets a child up for a life of healthy eating is what they eat most of the time and not the occasion sweets they get from grandma/pa.
@@canesugar911 I was only speaking of my personal lived experience and my observations. It's rude to call what I experienced "a myth". I made no blanket pronouncements about everyone everywhere. And in my experience, the older people whom I was referring to as "sweets dispensers" weren't exercising any moderation. Yet their behavior was dismissed as "okay because that's what grandparents do". I found that shocking. It wasn't my culture. That is all.
Edited to add: sure, kids have "high energy" as you say. So do I, still, as an adult. What of it?
@@galamander_1327 it is rude to call grandparents who are trying to treat their grandchildren "sweets dispensers", it is rude to make a false assertion that children get sugar highs, as it has been scientifically debunked. Children are hyperactive because they naturally have a lot of energy. It is rude to assert that these families are knowingly and maliciously giving their children diabetes etc. Your comments are filled with not so nice things about people that have had a different experience to you, yet you have the Affronty to play victim?.......lmao.
If you as an adult are hyperactive then you need to go get an evaluation done by a specialist. Word of advice, don't dish it if you can't take it.
My Mom went on strike in the 60s picket sign and all for aprox 1 week . It lasted 6hrs and we all met her requests 😊 with gratitude and a greater respect . Lesson learned . Don’t mess with Mom or Grandmother . I love this clip ❤
So true,
They got us by "the short n curleys".
And those Grannies didn't even lay on the "guilt treatment" hard.
One of the best video. Showed to my mom. I regret it now. She is on strike 😫
I am a southern grandfather. But I agree with the parents The grandmothers are going way too far.
Go Grannies!! I will show my kids my unionizing proposal tomorrow!
Of course they have a deal! Grannies hold ALL of the CARDS! 😂😁😂😁😂😁
I love this! The best treats are the ones my granddaughters and I bake together! It is a total pain in the rump, but we gave the best time! And, even if the treat is a flop we set there and eat them as we laugh over them and figure out how to do better next time. Lol
Oh, and very seldom does anyone else ever watch my grandchildren, that is strictly my domain! The other grandparents live in Hawaii, so don't get to visit much. They are lovely and we love when they visit.
I know this probably breaks granny protocol but I buy boxed brownie mix and rolls of cookie dough. Hard to mess that up.
Some of those demands were tough. May have to consider hiring a scab as negotiations continue...
Those grannies are ball busters!
This was Awesome! Love the reactions!
🤣😂🤣😂🤣 hilarious great job guys!
Lol the only one I’d have to say no on is the vacation one as we’ve never even been able to afford a vacation for US much less additional people 😂
That's when you send the kids to Gran's house for a few days for a vacation. We rarely went on a way vacations when I was a child, but we were frequently sent for stays with my grandma, who lived in the same town.Often these stays were one child at a time. It gave each of us special Grandma-time, and and it didn't tire my grandmother out.
Definitely brings back memories of whenever I'd visit my grandma. Every time we grandkids stopped by, she'd always head for the pantry .
My husband and I are relatively new grandparents...our kiddos are both under the age of 3. This is SPOT ON! LOVE IT!
what my gramma does is have 3 different solitares and makes me watch
You started with one now you have three, they're multiplying
She drew down with the withdrawl of thin mints! Omg I'm rolling! 😂🤣😂🤣
"If I don't hear your voice it don't count."
Yep
Rolling out the scroll list of treats is beyond funny... 🤣 & The Bank of Grandma is closed..😂 .. You all are outrageous with the demands, ~ hysterical!! Thank you for your video, I've been a sad Grandma because my daughter & son in law and my precious Baby Grands live an hour away from me now 😢 and your skit has brought me some much-needed laughter. Thank you!! God Bless You all! 😇 ❤
I'd give anything for my daughter to get to meet her grandma just one time.
Me too! My mom passed when she was 52. So sad.
Me three!
My son just watches in awe when I am with his boys. He finally asked if I was the same person that raised him. I said yes but the difference is he was not my grandson.🤣🤣🤣
this was my fave , laughed hard a cried a bit too , my granny would approve that too except she is long gone but god never forgotten , all the love in the world is small when it comes to granny's love for grandkids
I was just talking about those strawberry candies, wondering if they were still around 🤔 I wanted to share them with my kids. One of my favorite childhood candles out of that list lol
With my grandfather,it was the little butterscotch disks😋
I enjoyed the acting and the prop humor, but I feel the grannies came away as the villains.
They's gittin' ornery cuz they wasn't gittin' they PROPS! 🤬👿 Show some RESPEC', dammit! 😜
My mom tells me that as a small child my grandma gave me spaghettios and chips when she kept me. No matter how many times she was told not to give me junk food. If she didn’t have my favorite snacks on hand she’d send someone to the store. I miss you Grandma. ❤
We have a sign on the back porch that sums it up pretty good. 'Grandkids welcome any time - parents by appointment only'.
