> it's about how people having kids later means you won't meet your great grandparents.
It really depends.
When I was born my youngest grandma was 50. She already had three grandchildren.
I already had only 3 grandparents, one had died when my father was young, having survived two world wars, ironic ain't it?
At the age of 10 only one grandma was still alive, but she lived to the age of 95 and managed to meet 4 great grand-children.
My cousins had children late in their lives, their parents were average for their times.
I would say that meeting your grand parents is a benefit that has become a given only for the past 2-3 generations, when life and work conditions improved so much that it became the norm.
