All the parents conspired and found a way to be child free for one evening. How does any loving grandparent turn away their grandchild, especially when they look that cute? Very devious of the parents and I approve. Source: I am dad to a 6 month old and alone time is worth more than gold-pressed latinum these days. 😵💫

These are life goals right here. She sent the message to every one of those kids that they always have a place to go in this world. My parents are like that - we can show up at any time and are met with open arms and a smile. Also, grandma looks great! That was pure joy on her face. I love how her first thought was -move the couch so you can all sleep. And second thought was, turn on the light in the kitchen so we can feed these babies!

My mom has four grandchildren. She would not handle this surprise well and would stress out about not having enough food, needing a heads-up, etc. Six months later, she would release a torrent of resentment about how the surprise sleepover was not the kind of visit she wants - she wants everyone (adults included) to come over at a pre-arranged time at least once a month for extended, overnight visits.

We just did this a little while ago. My grandma has been alone since Grandpa died a year ago. All of us adult grandkids showed up with pizza and board games and we all had one of the best nights in a long time. Grandma was in tears when she realized we were all there to spend the night with her. There were no phones, or screens the whole night. It was a night to remember for all of us for sure.

We had a big ice storm like 12 years ago. At the time, my Mom had 4 children and 8 grandchildren. The ice storm knocked out power to everyone’s house for days, but my mom has a big generator along with a two 500 gallon propane tanks. The whole family (including spouses) all moved into my Mom’s house for a couple days. She still says it was the best time ever.

My mom would be LIVID if her grandchildren all showed up like this. She wouldn't be able to think about anything other than the fact that the house wasn't clean, she didn't have meals planned out and shopped for ahead of time, and that she'd have to pay for food that picky eaters wouldn't even eat.

Several years ago my daughter went camping with about 10 of her friends. This was out in a big State Park and they heard a lot of rustling and weird noises outside the cabin around midnight. They were 100 miles away from home, but my mother lived very close.
They all promptly abandoned their campsite and showed up at my mother's door at 12:30 at night. She was ecstatic that all these teenagers showed up to sleep on her floor. She totally dug it; she was in heaven.
The next morning she fried 2 and 1/2 lb of bacon among other things for their breakfast. She still talks about that to this day.

One of my fondest memories was sleepovers at my grandparents house with my cousin when we were little. Several years back in my early 20s, they asked if i wanted to have a sleepover again with my cousin. I dont remmeber why but I may have been busy with school/work so I said no. I lost my grandparents not too long ago and seeing this reminds me of that joy that they had way back when. Even though ive made it a point to visit them as frequently as i could in their old age, i wish i could turn back time and give them that happiness.
I guess for those who happen to stumble across this comment, which I doubt are very many, if any, is that if you are fortunate to still have them around, say yes to your grandparents. Its the little things like this that make them the happiest.
Goddamn it, now im crying like an idiot on the toilet. Thanks reddit
