[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you’re going to just have to accept at face value that some people do, in fact, find a lot of joy in being a parent or grandparent and it becomes the center of their life experience. Which kinda makes sense when you think about the end of life and what matters when you look back. For most people it is going to be those family relationships. That doesn’t mean your way is wrong but I do think you just need to accept that it’s valid and common.[/quote] I was going to say something similar but also add that some people have fewer activities and interests (or place less importance on them) as they get older, so grandkids loom larger in importance. Treat it like someone who is intensely interested in a hobby you find dull. Spend some time acting interested and if they can’t or won’t move on, just be cordial and superficial with them and find your people elsewhere.[/quote]
