BABY BOOMERS RAISING GRANDCHILDREN
What Grandparents Need to Know
Dear Grandparent;
When you were raising your own children, it
was easier to balance work, home and family.
But now that you’re raising their children, it’s harder to work through
the challenges of every day living.
You may even start to wonder how you’re
going to keep up with paying the bills, helping them with homework and getting
them to after school activities, while planning for your retirement.
Things have changed so much since you were
raising your own children: social issues, technology, school and family
structure. Perhaps you are still raising
your own children or have taken in your own elderly parents, adding even more
challenges to your life.
Sometimes you may feel alone, like you are
the only one raising your grandchildren.
Your “empty-nester” friends may not be associating with you since you have
new responsibilities and less time for them.
Other family members may disagree with your decision to take in your
grandchildren. Your grandchildren may
feel abandoned and resentful for being in their situation, making it all the
more difficult to face the day with a positive attitude.

on-going role as a grandparent raising grandchildren, I encourage you to
