[quote=Anonymous]Why are you calling this "Boomer" grandparenting? I think this has to do with your parents and their individual personalities. I was a latchkey kid, too, mainly because my mom worked full time. But when my sister became a parent my mom retired to provide full time child care while my sister and her husband worked - for both of their kids. She did same for my kids, too, several years later. She just really likes kids, but had a career, too. But her mom (my grandmother) wasn't interested in doing any child care for my sisters and I when we were babies. That was just her, not her generation - my grandmother was born in 1916. Her own mother, who was born in 1916, had zero interest in watching my sisters and I when we were babies, even for an evening let alone as a full time effort for a decade of her retirement. It wasn't because she learned that from her generation. [/quote]
