[quote=Anonymous]I am not yet a grandma, but here's where I am at. My career took a hit so that I could have children. I will have paid for their college, cars, phones, sports, vacations, blah blah. I've done everything in my capability to get them into adulthood and if they make the choice to have children, they need to be able to care for them. It shouldn't be on me in my older years to be further indebted to my children to provide continuous care for their children in lieu of retiring, traveling or doing whatever the heck I want. I am likely to not be able to retire under 72 which means I will have been working for 50+ years. I've earned the right to do whatever I want with my remaining years. I'll be there to help them, but I should not be their only option and ridiculed for not wanting to care for little kids in my 70s.[/quote]
