Our son and his wife are young marrieds (25 and 29), parents of two. My friends are all jealous that we have grandkids. Their kids look successful. They are getting Masters’ and Phds and have wonderful ‘career goals’ - but they are all single, not dating anyone in particular, self-focused.
They look like they are doing everything right, by today’s standards, but WE have grandchildren and our ‘kids’ are smack in the middle of adulthood, making real decisions, holding real jobs. We are so proud of them.
You are blessed, indeed.
Grateful for my 4 grandsons.
