Michelle Duggar talks about the joys of being a grandmother

In a new interview with Us Weekly, Michelle talks about her life as a grandmother. She says, “My kids joke and say, ‘You’re in grandma mode,’ and I am. I really am! But I’m also still raising mine and I’ve got a 10-year-old. That’s the youngest now, Josie. It’s a joy because you get to enjoy the grandkids. I heard people tell me for years, ‘You’re going to love these grandkids,’ and it’s the best. It’s amazing because you get to enjoy the fun, but not all the responsibility of packing the diaper bag and remembering all the details that you need to do. It’s wonderful. It really is. It’s the best thing ever. I love, I love having these grandkids.”

When talking about being a grandma, Michelle also says she’s “so grateful.”

Michelle gives an update on her growing family, adding, “We’ve been enjoying new granddaughters, so we’ve had five and two more coming. So a string of little seven girls and that’ll make 19 grandchildren — with tons of nieces and nephews, it’s never a dull moment. Some of them have had very difficult pregnancies and I think just the joy of that baby at the end is the big reward. … That precious little gift at the end is such a joy.”
