[quote=Anonymous]Folks, this is one of the sobering realizations of parenthood -- your own parents aren't parents anymore. We remember all they did for us, and it seems like not that long ago, right? It, literally, was a generation ago. They've aged, they don't have the energy and the skill set to do the job again (this is true most of the time, but not all the time, of course, there may be exceptions). Everyone has an idea how it will work out with grandparents, and its not always the case. Sometime grandparents have an idea in their own mind, and it doesn't mesh with ours. Its a tough lesson, but keeping grandparents as grandparents, and not caregivers, is generally the best advice one can give. The cost and effort of finding other care for your children is less than the stress created in the family.[/quote]
