[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I honestly don’t get why people even want grandkids. They aren’t near as much fun as having your own kids. I don’t see any grandparents having the energy to run around with grandkids or play on the floor with them. I had my kids knowing I may never get grandkids. And that’s why it’s important to make the 18 years I have with kids count. We had them for ourselves and not for our parents. I see a lot of grandparents making unfair demands on holidays and grandkid time. [/quote]

Huh? My parents became grandparents in their early 60s and spent so many wonderful years with my kids—playing soccer with them, going to recitals and school plays etc. Many of their friends were the same. [/quote]

Same. My mom and dad are 65, not 100. They have no issue taking them to the playground, doing blocks on the floor, playing with them. They aren’t doing backbends with my 6year old but that’s really not necessary to spend quality time.

I don’t think gparents should pressure their kids but plenty of them could definitely keep up with grandkids for an afternoon and would enjoy the time. [/quote]
