[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wish there was a way to match people who would like to be grandparents with children who don’t have any local grandparents who actively engage with them. My SIL has parents who aren’t very interested in her kids and neither are her in-laws. She’s sad that her kids have 4 living grandparents, but none who want to get to know their grandchildren.[/quote]

You should start a grandparent matching business! [/quote]

OP here..Sign me up. :lol: [/quote]

OP, people expect all sort of futures because that’s how their parents or grandparents did it. But the fact is, we are in the midst of significant societal changes. People simply don’t live like they used to. Your life sounds beyond blessed, you have had more joy and luck than most people do in a lifetime.

Let go of your expectations and start living your life. A bestie or two can replace a bustling family. [/quote]Y
You also seem to have reading comprehension issues, or did not read this thread. So many people, or probably just one(!) who don't bother to read, but just comment. [/quote]
