[quote=Anonymous]What I can’t stand are grandparents (and, yes, the two I’m thinking of are boomers) who want their grandkids to love them and run to them and pose for pictures based on occasional visits and presents. It doesn’t work that way for grandparents any more than it does for absentee parents. If you want the connection, you have to invest time and, yes, show some willingness to caregive because that’s what young kids need and how they form bonds. The main reason I exercise in middle age is because I hope to one day care for my grandkids. The idea of devoting 20 years to my children and then leaving them on their own to parent in this crazy world makes no sense to me[/quote]
