I Retired at 63 to Enjoy My Free Time, But My Grown Kids Want Help With Childcare

A young grandfather smiles, looking at his baby granddaughter.

Question: I retired at 63 to enjoy my free time, but my grown kids constantly ask for help with childcare. I love my grandkids, but it's too much. What should I do?

Answer: The nice thing about being retired is getting to take back control of your time, as opposed to having to be on an employer’s schedule. That could mean spending your days working on projects at home, enjoying hobbies or spending time with the people you care about.
