I retired about four years ago, and I now have the best job I ever imagined. Along with the other set of grandparents, my wife and I watch our two almost 4 year old twin granddaughters three days a week. They call me GG Dada, since they couldn't pronounce granddaddy early on.
My son and his wife thank us often for the time we spend with them, and for the considerable amount of money it saves them from day care. My usual response is that they are not very smart - they could easily be charging us quite a fee to get to spend that time with the little goofballs.
In my last years of working I started going in at 9:00 AM since 8:30 was just too damn early. Somehow, getting to their house at 7:45 doesn't seem like a task at all.
