[quote=Anonymous]As a parent over 50 with a kid who just left grade school, I can tell you older parents (and grandparents) have lost the ability to bullshit. We enforce our boundaries. We also have less energy to spare, and are more easy to tire in general. So the energy we have is precious, and we allocate it very deliberately. I am guessing grandma knows her time/energy/patience limits, which is good. She is not up for play dates, which is generational. I was never a huge fan, either; I am from the generation of "just go outside and play". It's a different mindset. We're also in a pandemic, which adds another layer. Just go with the flow. It is not personal.[/quote]
