Liz and Sam have it all: a happy marriage, a precocious preteen son named Nate, and a house that's just the right size for the three of them. Then, Liz's parents move in. Grandpa Irv is a kindly but occasionally grumpy Korean War vet who loves watching TV, bickering over politics, and spoiling his grandson. His wife Sarah is equally strong-willed, whether urging Irv to diet, questioning her daughter's parenting choices, or finding surprising success as an advice blogger.
With an estimated 50+ million Americans living in such families as of today, Freshly Squeezed is a refreshing look at newfound family togetherness after the economic collapse. Can three generations of one family share their lives, their feelings, their dwindling fortunes and a bathroom — and keep their sense of humor in the process? Pay a visit to the Freshly Squeezed family to find out! Freshly Squeezed is the brainchild of Ed Stein, an award-winning political cartoonist. He created the local comic strip, Denver Square, for the Denver Rocky Mountain News for 12 years. He lived the Freshly Squeezed life first-hand when his kids were little and his 80-year-old father moved to Denver.

grandpa and grandma are always super heros to their grandkids up to a certain age then they just become that old person that gives me money sometimes. I hope that when my grandchildren grow to adult hood that they learn to appreciate their grandparents. My children never did and it hurt my mom very much. She even wrote each and every one of her grandchildren out of her will. lol

Grandchildren come back eventually I think. Usually when they have kids of their own. Hopefully, it’s not too late by then.

But I agree Grandparents can be lifesavers. Love this one Ed.
