“If she can’t help you, she knows the person to send you to.
Upon approaching retirement, I found myself raising my granddaughter. I thought I deserved to be home, but my pocketbook didn’t say that.”
Fellow Grandparent, C. Crystal
Grandparents can take the kids to the library for story time or help them choose their own books, something that busy working parents might not have time to do.
