They have his two children on alternate week-ends. My unmarried daughter talks of wanting a child but having no use for a husband. My grandmother or grandfather would not be able to handle this much change. Sometimes, I wonder about me, too. We have to make an effort to know where this generation is coming from in order to give them the best of our love and understanding.
Grandparents adapt to change and changing by trying new systems for delivering birthday presents.
I doubt if I'll spend too many days attending concerts or learning rap-speak. I am not likely to visit what I consider the fringe of today, but I can read about them and their views with an open mind. I don't comment on my grandson's haircut or the unusual diet of my granddaughter. I keep quiet. And I keep reading, to open my mind.
