The real reason you’re not a grandparent yet

How many times have you asked your child when they’re going to make you a grandparent? 

Too many times to count.

But you may soon have an answer as to why you’re not a grandparent yet thanks to relationship expert Louanne Ward.

The dating expert has shared the top six mistakes men and women are making that are keeping them single. 

The mistakes include:

  1. You expect a partner to be everything you ever wanted

When you expect something from your partner and it’s something you’ve always wanted it can almost always lead to disappointment. 

  1. You see personality differences as negatives

“It is important to have differences and similarities,” Louanna explained.

  1. You compare the person to past experiences or future dreams

“You are comparing the person to past experience you have had and the future experience you want to have, so you aren't actually present in the relationship,” she said.

  1. You are afraid of “settling” if they don't tick every box

Louanna explained that people would feel they are settling for a person if they don’t meet each of their criteria.

  1. You leave at the first time of trouble, not willing to work through it.

“You leave at the first sign of trouble rather than working through conflict or challenges,” Louanna explained.

  1. You don't give people a chance, and make snap judgements.

“You make a snap decision and judgement without scratching the surface,” she said.

So what do you think?
