All About Grandparents What is it about the job of being a grandparent that makes it so different from the job of being a parent? Join Anne as she talks with two friends, Sally and Kathy, about their experiences, not only as grandparents, but also as parents watching their kids be parents. Anne has known them since their kids were toddlers-to-elementary-school ages, and, now, Sally’s son and one of Kathy’s daughters are parents themselves.
