The women who are carrying out the role of grandmothers were under study for the aim of their self-consciousness. The results of this research are presented in this article. The emphasis is placed on the self-image of today's grandmothers, identification of the feelings of subjective wellbeing prevailing at them and in allocation of the place of grandchildren in the structure of their consciousness. The article describes the results of empirical research which was aimed at studying the satisfaction with the "grandmother" role occupied in a family by women. There is also a description of self-assessment and structural characteristics of grandmothers’ self-consciousness. It was found that the image of today's grandmothers had changed and demonstrates satisfaction with themselves, their present life, their position in the family caused by the birth of grandchildren.
