[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I retired early at 53. My wife never worked outside the home. We had all four of our kids before we turned 30. We are now in our late 50s and have grandchildren. We all live in the DC area and see the grandkids almost every day. We are a huge part of their lives and they are a huge part of ours. To those of you who say “I don’t need grandparents” all I can say is you don’t know what you or your kids are missing. [/quote] This would be my ideal situation. Both my parents and I had our kids in our late 20s and very early 30s. I will be 50 when my first graduates from college. Unfortunately I married an older man and he will be 63 when our first graduates from college. My parents are “youngish” grandparents and a huge part of my kids lives. My mom is able to take care of them on her own for weeks at the time (since they were toddlers). I want the same for my grandkids... I am just sad that my DH will probably too old to do much[/quote]
