[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m probably the only person in DCUM who is 65. I can tell you I would rather go to the dentist than volunteer. Some people just hate it — the politics, the virtue signaling, the pointlessness of it, “art for the poor” sandwich making etc etc. Your mom probably volunteered all she wanted to when you were in school and now she’s DONE.

I am 73 and on DCUM because we are raising three grandchildren and I need current advice in my tweens and a teen.   I work full time and my retired husband does during the week school related things. I pitch in on the weekends. We have groceries delivered and weekly cleaning but otherwise the grandchildren are helpful

I see many friends like your mother who have stopped working and given up on life. We do not make these or our other grandchildren the reason to exist. My husband takes classes, maintains the yard, and tutors kids.  I do a
Little volunteer work that I have done since my 20s.  I think staying active and developing interests keeps you vibrant at any age.  That’s my plan.
