Grandparents Run 'Estrogen Ranch' While Raising Toddler Comeback Kid
KEY POINTS
- •Michael and Connie Frost began raising their granddaughter Kinsley full-time when she was 2 years old in Georgia.
- •They balanced running a farm and party rental business with homeschooling and providing Kinsley a stable home.
- •Though struggling financially with medical bills and postponed retirements, they prioritize Kinsley's education and future success.
Michael Frost, 67, and Connie, 63, live in Georgia running a 57-acre farm with cows, goats, sawmills, pottery, and their 13-year-old CEO, Kinsley. Retiring in 2010 to a semi-idyllic 'Estrogen Ranch'—named for the nine daughters between them—they swiftly pivoted to full-time grandparents raising their granddaughter since age 2. Michael juggles party rental business duties renting anything from excavators to lawnmowers, while Connie swapped church event planning to referee the 'owner of the place.' Kinsley got her first iPhone after five years of parental tech defiance, and Michael now homeschools her, depressingly postponing travel plans. All this while dreaming of retirement funds that mysteriously vanished into surgical bills and the black hole of grandkid logistics.
