ENDING WITH A REALLY SWEET MOMENT between our #Granddaughters, we enjoyed finding our Braunvieh #cow Geneva 🐂 & calf Nova & the herd at the gate as well as some “pasture adventure” at Longview Cattle Farm.
#PastureScenes #SpringBreak

Clearing out an over grown area by my #barns the past 4 days and I found my #granddaughters ring she lost last #summer while help washing the car. Bright part to my day

#STPATRICKSDAY makes me think of many fine days in my favorite color, GREEN, & I thought of this photo last May when our family was in North Georgia at Smithgall Woods State Park. I was following our #Granddaughters through a fern glade. Fantastic! Great memories.

I think the point I am trying to make is, 8-17 years ago they were my #daughters

I'm 54 now...

Are #granddaughters or daughters more preferable?

#daddy or #grandpa ?

This was 2 years ago with my youngest granddaughter, Madeline. #isntshelovely #granddaughters #maddie.

I captured this selfie photo of me, using a Snapchat filter. I am considering using it as my first LinkedIn profile photo of 2026🤔.

I ported off WhatsApp 3-4 yrs ago and began using Snapchat in 2023.

Mom puts foot down after grandma brings 'humiliating gifts' for granddaughters Everything adults do around a child—how they communicate, act, and express themselves—affects them. A child’s confidence and self-esteem are primarily strengthened through the support of their loved ones. However, it works the other way around as well. Putting a child down, embarrassing them, or being careless around them can destroy their confidence. About a year ago, a mom who goes by u/Your_Lydia on Reddit shared a truly strange incident on the r/AmItheAsshole subreddit: while visiting, her mother-in-law brought “embarrassing” gifts for her children, two girls aged 13 and 14. Apparently, their grandmother was trying to "toughen them up” with the gifts, but they were so inappropriate that OP felt she had no choice but to react strongly. Mom fussing at grandma.Canva Photos According to the OP, the girls' grandmother hadn't seen them in a long time and wanted to bring them some gifts. Mom agreed, but she had no idea what said gifts would be. It's safe to say she was assuming grandma would bring something nice and benign like books or clothes, but that's not what happened. “What she brought them was absolutely terrible—humiliating, even,” the mom remarked. “She asked my 14-year-old to open her gift first. She had brought her a shaver and a condom.” The mom was “disgusted” by the gift, but she controlled her reaction. The grandmother, however, stated that it was “a perfect gift and that she’s going to need it.” The mom was baffled to discover that her 13-year-old daughter had received the same gift. Overwhelmed with emotion, the mom immediately asked the grandmother to leave, but she refused. Things got even worse. Upon seeing her granddaughters in tears after receiving their gifts, the grandmother told them to “toughen up” and that “it’s not so serious." “I started screaming that this was not okay and that she was a psychopath for bringing them these ‘gifts.’ She said she was just trying to do something nice and began to cry,” the mom wrote. No Way Wtf GIF by Harlem Giphy Nevertheless, she did not tolerate the disrespect for another second and “shoved” the woman out of her home. In an edit, the mom added, “She was not being funny; she was speaking in a serious tone.” People were appalled by the grandmother’s careless attitude and reckless behavior. Many parents who saw the post noted it was a horrible gift and gesture. One commenter said, “I am a massive advocate for good sexual health and good sexual education. This was neither of those things. Dumping a razor and a condom is inappropriate and uncomfortable.” Another added, “Who in their right mind gives these things to a 13-year-old and 14-year-old?” Several people noted that such topics are sensitive and should be discussed with caution, especially with kids at that age. Another chimed in, saying, “These are not appropriate gifts for your girls. You did not overreact. I can't imagine how tough it must have been to talk to your girls about their inappropriate 'gifts'.” This commenter remarked, “That wasn't preparing kids for the future, that was weird and cynical. I don't think your mother-in-law should be around minors without supervision.” And this Redditor added, “I agree hygiene and birth control are important issues but they need to be handled privately between parent and child. This should be done safely so that dignity is preserved, values are discussed, and communication can remain open." Mom talking with young teen daughter.Canva Photos This incident touches on a larger issue: the sexualization of young girls. The American Psychological Association's 2007 report on the sexualization of young girls analyzes instances of sexualization of girls in media, society, and other cultural messaging and "their impact on girls and the role and and impact of race/ethnicity and socioeconomic status." According to the APA, there are "several" components to sexualization, and it occurs when: * "A person’s value comes only from his or her sexual appeal or behavior, to the exclusion of other characteristics; * a person is held to a standard that equates physical attractiveness (narrowly defined) with being sexy; * a person is sexually objectified — that is, made into a thing for others’ sexual use, rather than seen as a person with the capacity for independent action and decision making; and/or * sexuality is inappropriately imposed upon a person." The report notes that the fourth condition—the inappropriate imposition of sexuality—is "especially relevant to children," and it's clear OP's mother-in-law was guilty of this whether she meant to or not. A 2023 article in _Verywell Mind_ entitled "The Sexualization of Young Girls and Mental Health Problems" by writer and mental health advocate Sarah Sheppard notes that the "ongoing sexualization of young girls is perpetuating gender stereotypes and leading many girls to experience various mental health issues. Some of the most common include low self-esteem, anxiety, eating disorders, self-harm, and suicidal thoughts." Troubled teen girl. Canva Photos "When girls don't know how to interpret the sexualized information they're receiving about themselves and their bodies," writes Sheppard, "they may turn inward and inflict harm on themselves to release the massive stress they are experiencing." The bottom line is that OP's reaction to her daughters' "gifts" was entirely appropriate. What the girls' grandma did was more serious than she wanted to acknowledge or perhaps understood, and that's why awareness is so important. As one commenter noted, sexual health and education are important topics, but they _must_ be approached with safety, dignity, and within the correct parameters for the best outcome and understanding. _This article originally appeared in September. It has been updated._

Took advantage of the last sunny warmish day yesterday for after school fun at the park. Love this girl to the moon and back x1 million trillion. #fallcolors #sunshine #granddaughters

A black and white photograph of a young girl brushing her bald grandfather’s long beard.

When you’re an Opa with a big beard, with two young granddaughters… The work can be tough.

Here the eldest is brushing out my tangles in preparation for a frontal pony tail and braiding.

What ...we not playing lava anymore...you need your doctor kit. Dr. Bristol is on duty. #Babysitting #GrandDaughters #FunAndGames

Three people stand on a beach with the ocean and a rocky island far behind them. The sky is perfectly blue. The smallest has her hair in braids. She is 9 years old and wearing bright pink pants, a pastel fleece jacket and a backpack with crocks strapped on the back. The middle is a very happy me with my trekking poles and backpack wearing black wool tights, a blue hiking skirt, a baseball cap and a pink sun shirt. The third is 11 years old wearing dark blue leggings, a baseball cap from Kauai with a flower on it and a blue fleece. She has a red backpack with a sleeping pad and Teva sandals strapped on.

Four people sit and stand next to petroglyphs carved in sandstone. Faces and orca whales are visible. The beach is rocky and the two children and two adults are smiling.

Am feeling happy today. A #writer / #editor / #teacher who is doing #research about the #professionalization of editors interviewed me. And then one of my #granddaughters hung out in my office with me, dancing and singing to music. #SelfEmployment is fun! ☺️
