At 54 today (and dh is 52), I am hardly over-the-hill, though AARP has kicked in and many senior discounts as well, and life and health benefit brackets have been upped as well. <BR/><BR/>Not only are people living and working longer and having children later as you mentioned, but more and more grandparents and even great-grandparents are raising their grandchildren, 2nd and 3rd generations. If they are left out of "family-oriented" activities, they and the children will be deprived.<BR/><BR/>Let's hope not.

People in the real world need to realize this. I called my daughter, who was in her early twenties, to rescue me from a date gone bad! (Long story!)<BR/><BR/>You go, girl!
