    1. lot of my coworkers parents won’t help raise grand kids or even baby sit.
    2. my father is not going near my kids. Not even telling they exist.
    3. moms working for another 10 Years if she lives that long
    4. mom lives basically other side of country.
    5. my living grandmother is bless her soul about mad as a hatter and I don’t like wild cards.

    So no grand parents can’t help save me 2-3k a month in babysitting fees for 2 kids. Thanks capitalism.

      All my grandparents all died by the time I was 15…

      Maybe he thinks everybody is like one of my high school classmates who bragged of being a grandfather at the ripe old age of 40…

          The trailer-park methheads who have meth’ed their way right onto disability.

          You know, the type of person you want your kids around for 8 hours a day, right?

        Hahaha so proud to do the painful thing of having sex with opposite gender and your kids did the same! Such a trial.
