[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And barely Gen Exer Growing up in the 70’s and 80’s, I don’t remember very many kids with grandparents helping out. I remember latch key kids instead. It certainly wasn’t the norm in either of my parent’s extended families. [/quote] +1. I am genx with boomer parents. We had no extended family close by to "babysit", and I only had 2 close friends who had grandparents close enough that they saw them regularly. I grew up in a wealthier community so there were plenty of SAHMs. There were also a contingent of latch key kids (I was one and loved it!). I grew up in a suburb of Dallas. Most people were not from there (they were from other parts of TX or the South). Maybe it depends on what region you are from? I've never heard my parents complain once that they did not have parenting support from grandparents. [/quote]
