    Does anyone currently have any elders taking care of their kids? Or having done so?

    The current generation of Elders living today aren’t doing shit for support.

    I would argue given how much voting power they have - they are actively making it worse for parents everyone

      It’s becoming more common where I am for a couple to move back to somewhere near one of their sets of parents before they have kids so they can rely on them for occasional childcare since both of the new parents usually have jobs
