Becoming a grandparent makes getting older something to look forward to - all the fun of parenting, without the hassle.
Let Them (Not) Eat Cake
We take people in at Christmas, my family; we always have. A small family of mostly women, we don't have many children around to watch, in fact at 29 I'm usually the youngest at the table. So we take people in - friends and neighbours. Over the years our table has seen food, jokes, and customs from Baltic, Celtic, and American friends of all ages, and usually, it goes well.

Busting Balls
He had many nicknames, but usually preferred to be addressed as Red Power Ranger. My blonde-haired, blue-eyed, cherub of a brother was born the year I turned thirteen. His name was Gabriel – like the Christmas angel – and he sometimes believed he could fly.

Why Do Some Families Repeat Older Generations Mistakes?
Families can be the best thing in your life when you're younger. How you cherish your mom and your dad. You want to spend every day with them. Do adult things if it means being by their side. As we get older we finally come into our own and pull away from being so attached.

Finally Coming Home
Monday, I hated that day. Especially, a snowy, freezing, miserable December day in Michigan. As I made my way to our break room, I heard the usual. “Morning LT, Morning Lieutenant Flynn, nice day, isn’t it LT?” My people loved to aggravate me. All of them knew until I had my first cup of coffee, I hated to talk. I went into our breakroom, grabbed a coffee mug, and poured a cup of the Elixir of the Gods. Just as I took my first sip, Detective Ellen Johnson interrupted me.

How To Work From Home With A Baby: What You Need to Know!
How to Work From Home With a Newborn You will need to be very organized and efficient if you want to work from home with a newborn. Try to set up a work routine that allows you to work during your child’s sleeping hours. Most working from home jobs will not require you to be present in the office. Instead, you can set up your work schedule to be completely remote. This will allow you to work while your child is sleeping. Because you will be working while your child is sleeping, you need to make sure that you have everything you need within reach. This includes your computer, any research materials you’ll need, and snacks. You will also need to make sure that you have a separate work space for yourself and your child. You don’t want to be distracted by your baby as you work or vice versa. Having a separate work space for both you and your child will make it much easier to stay productive.

Fuck - our parents are getting older!
When I watched the final season of "Grace and Frankie" the other day, it struck me again: we're all going to die. The big spoiler of life. Before we die, we'll get even older. And before we get older, so will our parents. This is very creepy. Just as shocking and just as obvious as the realization that Mom and Dad must have had sex. You can smile away that over time, dementia and heart attack not really.
