[QUOTE="DazedandConfused, post: 351314, member: 831"] husband and I wistfully make plans of the things we want to do once our nest is empty, or at least when Son becomes an adult. Our concern at this point is that our health holds out until then :anxious:. I pretty much agree with everyone so far. You are done raising your children and now it's their time to raise theirs. As a kid that spent a lot of time at my Grandparent's house it was some of the best times I ever had. I will always cherish the memories, but my Grandmother never left her house except a very few times in her life (I suspect some social anxiety) and didn't mind having us kids often because that was the only way she was going to see us. However, my Mom, who is widowed and retired, as a fairly active life with her quilting guild and travel. She helps out and gives me a break when she can, but I would never expect her to become babysitter or co-parent. She has made it clear she done raising kids..lol Honestly, I can't wait until it's my turn! [/QUOTE]
