I don't know, life's a battle. Your kids grow up and leave home, and just when you think you've got your life back, they go and have kids and it all starts again. And my view gets no support from her indoors, she just calls me a miserable old git
If I can just develop my crap memory a bit further ("I'm sure I left them playing in the garden"), and throw in a bit of incontinence, I might be able to swerve great-grandparent duties.

In the past when families were closer, it would be the grandparents who would look after the children whilst the parents were working. The grand children in turn would later look after the grandparents when they became very old and unable to look after themselves.

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

Picking him from nursery is fine and give him his tea, then his parents collect him, 2 hours max, ideal

I don't see my grandkids doing that for us, not unless there's an app for it on their phone.
Most of my Asian customers seem to be multi-generation households, because they respect and care for their elders. The best we can hope for in our dotage is to not get mugged, burgled or scammed.

I don't have any children of my own, but I have 'inherited' a family from my partner. But I doubt if they will look after us in our (or rather my) old age.

Best thing we can do is get them a decent education so they can get a well paid job. Then hope they can spend some of their income on a decent care home for us where the residents aren't routinely physically and mentally abused.

I don't want a care home thankyou. I want my offspring to build me a granny flat in their garden. Doesn't have to be anything special - small bedroom, bathroom, not much of a kitchen cos we'll live on takeaways and meals on wheels, and a good size living room so the stereo can work properly. With a little snug annexed, just big enough for Mrs. P and her telly

I for one look forward to being old, incontinent and a burden on my Family.
One down already, two to go.
...Not saying which one mind.
Letting go and relaxing
is the most ‘in control’ thing you can do.
Enjoy being You,
no-one else gets to be that lucky
