[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I may be crazy, but I am jumping into this post. I am a grandmother and I have more than a few friends who are also grandparents. I only can speak for those of us who have local grandchildren. We all are upperclass 60+, some retired and some not. Everyone I know is helping with childcare on a weekly basis. Personally, I watch my grandchild just under 40 hours a week and promised to keep this schedule for a year until she has the majority of her vaccinations. In my circle, this situation is the norm not the exception.[/quote] That is definitely not the norm in my social circle. My kids are 2 & 4.5. Everyone I know has a nanny or FT childcare (or a SAHP). Maybe it is a socioeconomic divide. Most of our parents are enjoying early retirement. They will absolutely take the kids overnight or pick them up from school maybe 2x a month when they are home from FL / their summer house, but we don’t “need” the care if that makes sense.[/quote]
