Retirement Plans Upended: Becoming a Grandkid Caregiver​

I recently retired as an East Asian mom, excited to explore community activities and ease into this new chapter. But life had other plans! My daughter just had her second baby, and juggling work and parenting proved too much. Family has always been my top priority, so I stepped in to help. My dream of relaxing retirement? Temporarily paused. Diaper changes, bedtime stories, and playtime have become my new routine. It’s challenging but rewarding. Seeing my grandkids grow is priceless, even if it means putting my personal plans on hold. How do you balance personal goals with family responsibilities? #RetirementLife #Grandparenting #FamilyFirst #UnexpectedTurns #BalancingAct
