Grandparents Raising Grandkids

Grandparents raising grandkids is a growing issue, and a job meant for folks in their first half of life, not the last half. Discuss the trials and joys of parenting grandkids when parents have died, gone to prison, or become incompetent.

Excellent topic and so relevant for today.

I have not been in this situation, but due to fentanyl deaths, many in my community are.

Technically, I’m not in that position. My brother is. However, my brother’s granddaughter is only one month younger than my older daughter, so we’re in the same boat.

That whole “for folks in their first half of life, not the last half” doesn’t take into consideration people like me, who didn’t choose to have children later in life, but God decided for us anyway.
