My two siblings and I(in our 30’s) gave our parents 10 grandchildren and they love it.
But I don’t feel grandparents of today are like the grandparents I grew up with. They could probably care less
Damn, we're about the same age and both have two siblings but my parents are dead and none of us have children.
Even if I have children, in a sense it doesn't matter if you have grandchildren if you don't live to see them.
I assume they love the experience of being around their grandkids more than their existence / the concept? Do you think the same "love" would exist for greatgrandchildren if they could know they would exist but couldn't experience it?
Why do you think that is?
I understand loving being around your grandkids, especially if you're older since new life is the opposite of death.
Not sure why today's grandparents would be different from any other.
