[quote=Anonymous]A lot of people really romanticize grandparent-child relationships, and assume that every grandparent is an outstanding caregiver for children. It's similar to the assumption that having family local = helpful family with endless time and patience to serve as a second (or third) set of parents. I do think an old retired couple can provide safe care for their grandchildren, and it's great for kids to see that childcare can vary. They don't need to be wildly entertained every single weekend. Having a slower pace now and then is great, and kids thrive knowing that different people love and care for them.[/quote]
