[quote=Anonymous]10:18, I agree with you. OP here. My own parents are fairly physically fit (slower but fine), and on good mental health. And they (age 77) tell me that their friends all say the same thing: that many older grandparents forget how taxing it is to be 100% responsible for a young child for days at a time. Lucky for me, they wouldn't want to watch my son when we're out of town, and certainly wouldn't take him on a vacation! And they're good and present grandparents. They just realize their limitations. FIL, otoh, does things like scoff at me for not allowing my ds to take a ride in his convertible in a 20 year old car seat. FIL and MIL took their other 2 grandkids (dh's sister's kids) on trips, but those kids are in their 20s now, that was 20 years ago. There's a huge difference, the grandparents were in their 50s then. It's frustrating that fil can't accept that it's different this time around. [/quote]
