The idea
Grandparenting usually brings satisfaction in late adulthood, though older adults without grandchildren are not less satisfied with their lives.
In practice
A grandmother teaching her grandchildren family recipes and stories on weekend visits, a role she treasures.
Where people slip
Family ties remain the stable core of older adults' networks even as acquaintances fall away.
