Ever Thought About Retirement?

Grams came everyday to help me til she was 80. Then dementia started. After my gpop passed Grams move in with us n still helped till she passed away. I didnt leave her alone cause she would forget things but body wise she was still kickin till 84. I think the kids kept her young.

After reading the thread "Question From a DCM" where the poster mentions she trusted the 60yr old provider, cause older equals more experience, I started thinking:is there an age where a daycare provider should retire? How old would most parents think is too old to run a Daycare?

Nope. I rarely think of retirement. My plan is death or the lottery....which ever comes first so since I am pretty sure the lottery is NOT going to happen....that means the alternative is death and I try to avoid that thought.


On a serious note, no I have no plans to retire any time soon. I will continue providing child care until I physically and mentally can no longer do so.
