[quote=Anonymous]Everyone here has been posting about housing markets, college costs, and pensions, but I think a big part of it is also the family relationships changed. My grandparents were greatest generation and parents were among the earliest baby boomers (born in '46 and '48.) My siblings and I were born in the mid-late 70s. When I was growing up we spent a lot of time with my grandparents. My mom was a SAHM so my grandparents didn't babysit full time or anything, but my mom definitely got a lot of help with long weekends, appointments, or other childcare. And yes--my grandparents were still working at that time, not retired. When I had my kids my parents were very vocal that they would not be doing that kind of thing for their kids on the same level. In their 50's and 60's my grandparents were working full time and helping family. In my parents 50's and 60's they were retired- going on constant vacations and watching tv.[/quote]
