while I knew and loved and respected my grandparents, my kids and their cousins have a very limited relationship with a certain set of grandparents...
its not a money thing...they have plenty...its not time...been retired since my kids were very little with lots and lots of time.....and its not distance....just a short drive away...
but let's face up to a reality...some people are just selfish in doling out their time, let alone their money....
its sad because none of the cousins have learned much respect for the grandfolks....its their loss.....
otoh......I swear on a stack of Bibles that if God grants my kids children, I will if allowed be very very involved and helpful...with the emphasize on helpful....
young people need our knowledge, our wisdom and sometimes our money lol to get on in life....
