Protecting our grandchildren — or not

Body

We spend our middle adult years protecting our children. Indeed, parenting represents the most expensive and difficult responsibility of our lives.

We baby-proof our houses. We warn them about the dangers of living in the 21st century. We educate them to be productive members of society. We seek to protect them from the dangers of drug abuse.

We invest our retirement dollars so that we do not become burdens on them.
