Bummer!  :(

DH and I are only children so when our kids are older they will probably have this conversation with us. I hope we'll be able to handle it.

Be active, interesting, flexible, and fun-loving. Don’t expect to watch Fox News and sit on the couch all day, yelling at the kids to be quiet every 5 minutes, and you’ll be fine. Be a helpful grandparent who doesn’t act like legitimate food allergies are “fads,” don’t push candy right before bedtime, and don’t act put-upon when no one wants to hear you talk about your neighbor’s garden or other boring crap. You’ll be fine as long as you don’t act super old and expect young people to be interested in that.[/quote]

We can try. Some of these things, I can't see us doing. But then again, we'll be old. And boring, I suspect, as we're a little boring now. With no cousins around to play with.
Oh well, no need to borrow trouble, I guess.

Why have you decided to be boring?

My ILs are set in their ways and expect my kids to care about ancestral discussion and textile museums. My parents learned how to play Dragonvale, take my kids to the water park, and read the books my daughters are reading so they can discuss. DECIDE to be fun, and you will be. [/quote]
