10 Reasons Why Life is Better After 60

3) Being A Grandparent

The relationship with grandchildren is completely different than the relationship with your own children. You have more time to share minus all the parenting responsibilities. Many people (jokingly) think having grandchildren is the reward for not killing your own children.

As a parent, you are learning how to be a good parent by keeping your children safe and healthy while also trying to create schedules and routines. As a grandparent, you have already learned how to be a good influence, a loving supporter, and protector, but you do not have to be the disciplinarian. You get to enjoy your grandchildren’s achievements, along with your own sense of achievement for being a part of their life. You get to spoil them with affection (and gifts), and you also get to serve a as a role model. Being a grandparent is one of the best reasons why life gets better as you get older.
