[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yup, it's probably 1) fewer kids and thus fewer grandkids (less distribution of focus) 2) people more likely to move away from home so the grandparent visit/trip becomes more of an event 3) people living longer and with more disposable income so they have the time and means to want to do stuff like this[/quote] Very much this. People had more kids and they definitely didn't live as long and didn't have as much money. Times have changed in all aspects. People need to adjust and accept it for what it is. All but one of my grandparents were dead before I was born or while I was in elementary school. People just live longer now. [/quote] Not really - my kids had 2 grandparents when they were born and by the time the oldest was 8, only 1 was left. People have kids later in life, people still die from illnesses relatively young (cancer, strokes, etc), so I don’t see that people really live longer now. Statistics confirm this too.[/quote]
