Perspective of parents of single parents living at home
When my son was awarded custody of his two very young boys, he moved back in with me. He needed my help, and not just financially. I know he has appreciated all that I have done in the last 5 years, even though there were some tough times. I have not always approved of his decisions, and he hasn't always appreciated my advise. But in the end, it was always about the boys. And the rewards have been worth every bad day. Most grandparents only hear about their grandchildrens accomplishments. I watch them every day, from their first steps to their first words to their first day of school. I have been there for it all. In generations past, it was common for many generations to live under the same roof. Today we act like it is some type of failure. The truth is, the kids today are not better off because familys are seperated. They miss out on the chance to develope bonds that carry them through life. Meet my grandsons and you will see the difference it makes when all members of familys help raise children.
