Question/suggestion: What about the grandfather hypothesis?

From wikipedia:

The grandmother hypothesis is a hypothesis to explain the existence of menopause in human life history by identifying the adaptive value of extended kin networking. It builds on the previously postulated "mother hypothesis" which states that as mothers age, the costs of reproducing become greater, and energy devoted to those activities would be better spent helping her offspring in their reproductive efforts.[1] It suggests that by redirecting their energy onto those of their offspring, grandmothers can better ensure the survival of their genes through younger generations. By providing sustenance and support to their kin, grandmothers not only ensure that their genetic interests are met, but they also enhance their social networks which could translate into better immediate resource acquisition.[2][3] This effect could extend past kin into larger community networks and benefit wider group fitness.[4]

Scott mentioned recently about the conflict between being there for your sons and needing to provide for the family. In traditional family units there was an extended family close by to both help and act as role models. Perhaps we need to reintroduce the grandfather into the post nuclear family to provide that back stop and additional role model.

I'm guessing Scott fairly close to being in that role. Has he thought about what his role will be with his grandsons?

In a few years it could be a good sequel.
