[quote=Anonymous]Once a week is great! I would also be open to eventually watching them for a weekend so your kid and their partner can go away for a weekend a couple times a year. Expectations like full-time childcare are unfair if not the grandparents' idea. Plus there is some evidence that full-time care is associated with negative cognitive outcomes: "The data suggest that the highest cognitive performance is demonstrated by postmenopausal women who spend 1 day/week minding grandchildren; however, minding grandchildren for 5 days or more per week predicts lower working memory performance and processing speed. These results indicate that highly frequent grandparenting predicts lower cognitive performance." https://journals.lww.com/menopausejournal/Citation/2014/10000/Role_of_grandparenting_in_postmenopausal_women_s.7.aspx[/quote]
