grandpaproofed

/ˈɡrændpɑː ˌpruːft/adjectiveVerified New

Society & Philanthropy

Also in: Großelternsicher (Deutsch) · abueloprueba (Español) · papiproofé (Français)

Describing a home adjusted in advance for a grandparent's visit — mats, chairs, remotes, and routes rearranged.

The grandpaproofing is invisible to the grandparent and exhaustive for the household: the reading lamp, the low chair, the remote with three buttons. Everything is arranged so the visit feels effortless, which is the point and the labour. Grandparents sense the care without seeing it.

Etym. — grandpa + proofed — childproofing's mirror image, with love running the other way.

Rel. — telegrandparented

Novelty check: APPROVE
