Typically when 'satellite babies' happen, it is because both new parents work, and the grandparents are likely retired or have more flexibility in their work schedule due to seniority.
They're not in their prime, sure, but they have more free time (and experience).
- hrktb 6y agoI agree it can work. I'd just advocate to be careful, as parents tend to forget the reality of it, especially decades later. Experience sure helps, but it's not a silver bullet either. We had our grandparents come to help for the first born, just to send them back because they were getting tons of germs and the lack of sleep was killing them. Two years later it was a perfect match and they really enjoyed taking care of the kid.
