[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Boomers are too busy and galavanting around on vacations to help their kids and grand kids, sad. Another example of boomer selfishness on top of the wealth taking and focusing younger generations to find their lifestyles, sad.

Don't have children expecting your parents to be your free child Care.  We took care of our kids and you can do the same.[/quote]

I think most of us just want some genuine interest in being a grandparent.  Being willing to watch the kids for 15 min here or there would demonstrate that.[/quote]

Is there any other way to demonstrate interest? Or is free babysitting for you it?[/quote]

You mean spending in-person time with your grandchildren that doesn't require parental supervision?  That is a pretty low bar.[/quote]

But the parents won't be there, yes? You're not planning to invite you parents to eat dinner with you or something like that right?[/quote]
