Linda spoke about the generational divide with her teen granddaughter

Linda Robson has opened up on the Loose Women podcast about the important role grandparents have in caring for grandchildren. The 67-year-old actress didn’t hold back her feelings.

She said: “I love having my grandchildren more than anything else in the world, I love them more than my children.” After being away for work, Linda added: “I really, really missed them. So as soon as we got back, that was the first people that I went to see. After the dog, obviously, because Dolly Parton needs me.”

The Loose Women panelist also spoke about the generational divide with her teen granddaughter. She said: “Lila in particular, because she’s 13 now, so she’s got a phone, and now there’s no sort of conversation with her anymore.”

Linda observed how technology has changed their interactions during sleepovers when Lila stayed over. “I had them, they stayed overnight, and at one o’clock in the morning, her Snapchat was still going”, reports Yorkshire Live.

Linda has opened up about the evolving relationship with her granddaughters, noting how their interests have diverged over time: “When they were younger, the pair of them, we could do lots of things together, go to the cinema and everything. Now Lila’s got her own little group of friends, so she wants to be out with them all the time. So I’ve struggled with that really.”

However, Linda’s experience is quite different with her other granddaughter. She said: “Betsy’s happy to be with me 24 hours a day.” She admits to being more relaxed than their mother Lauren when it comes to technology use, finding it hard to enforce strict rules on phone and laptop usage.
