They say that the great thing about grandparenting is being able to hand the grandkids back afterwards. But if you’ve been looking forward to a bit of freedom in your autumn years, forget about it! Parents these days think nothing of dumping the brats on you for a week while they swan off on holiday, leaving you to deal with the complications of modern pushchairs, ultra-high-decibel screams, feeding picky appetites, endless cleaning and mending, child-proofing your home … Grandpa Gave us Chocolate at Bedtime is the fourth in a series of titles that have been bestsellers in Australia. Other titles include Dog Poo on the Pram Wheels, Dog Poo on the Trike Wheels and Mummy Doesn’t Do it Like That.
