[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Am I the only one who is really looking forward to taking care of grandkids? I wasn't able to be a SAHM, but I really want to help my own kids. I love babies and toddlers. I'm not sure why more grandparents aren't interested in their grandkids.

My parents live on the same street as me and want to be helpful, but they're unreliable. "Oh we're going to visit your brother for a month, surely you can take care of the kids then?" Umm no. I can't stop and start aftercare/daycare at a whim. Then my parents are upset that their grandkids are having all this fun with the nanny instead of them. I can't win. [/quote]

Ask your parents to pay for the nanny. Then it won't matter if they take the kids when they want or leave when the want, because they are always making sure care is available.[/quote]

The level of entitlement that Millennial parents have is truly mind boggling!

+1. Also a 40-something Gen-Xer. I have already told my daughters (9 and 12) that when they have kids, I will not be the nanny. I wll be in my late 60s or 70s most likely. I am too old for this already (not my plan to have kids at all) and when I retire, I want to enjoy my life. I have been working like a dog since I was 16. I'm done.[/quote]
