[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it’s more than just providing child care. It’s also a level of involvement. My silent generation parents love being involved with their grandkids and interacting with them. In contrast, the boomer grandparents can hardly be bothered to have a monthly zoom call (which I set up) and don’t acknowledge birthdays. They have plenty of energy to travel the world and go to fancy restaurants. [/quote] That’s so funny. My Silent Gen MIL told me and my SIL that she “wasn’t the kind of grandma who babysits” before we even had children. No one brought up the subject except her because we didn’t intend to use her for childcare. My mother was that kind of grandma and not Silent Gen. [/quote]
