It's fascinating that many Boomer grandparents seem to want to be more involved in their kids/grandkids lives—but only insofar as they are the ones being entertained and catered to. I saw a post from a grandmother who moved away from her son and his young family. She felt they weren't spending enough time with her to justify living close, so she moved away and now spends her time traveling. Many grandparents in the comments also lamented that their adult children are "too busy" for them, and that they never get invited to stuff. That their children don't "make time" for them. I found this so interesting, because these are largely the same people who insist they shouldn't have to be "babysitters" (hot take: it's not babysitting to watch your own grandkids). So instead of recognizing that their adult children are busy, and offering to help ease their burden by watching the kids and coming over and help clean or cook, they just huff that they aren't being entertained by their busy working children whom they refuse to help (by spending time with their own grandkids). Incredible stuff.
