[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP You are a very self-centered person.  When I retire I want to babysit my grandkids (hopefully I will be lucky enough to have them).  I really don't understand the entitlement attitude..I am retired and have by default no obligations but I'd rather do my own thing then help my kids and get to know my grandkids.  I'm in my 40's now and work 50 hours a week at a job to provide for my kids.  Maybe the ire I have is that you remind me of my very sucky parents.[/quote]

Oh give me a break.  I'm the PP who said I'd love to watch my grandchildren, but that's because it's something I think I'd truly enjoy.  There's absolutely nothing wrong with someone deciding what kind of relationship is best for them and their grandchildren, and what kind of retirement they want.  My own mother is a fantastic grandmother.  She's got a rich retired life full of interesting things, like volunteering with her church, working on political campaigns, taking college classes, and traveling the world.  She's a wonderful role model for my kid and can teach him all sorts of interesting things, but there's no way she'd want to take on the task of watching her DGS full time, nor should she have to.  She's earned the right to do as she pleases.  [/quote]

+1 OP, is self centered because she doesn't want to care for future grand kids probably 30+ hours a week? Go fuck yourself. Grandparents have a right to enjoy and live their lives the way they want to. They have no financial or any other obligation to grand kids at all.[/quote]

Right- have fun in the nursing home when your kids throw you out because you were too self-involved to help them with their kids.[/quote]

There is helping and then there are unrealistic expectations.[/quote]
