[quote=Anonymous]It's not about rights really, but I think it is to the benefit of the child to be able to know the living generations of her/his family. My grandparents fought in WWII and the Vietnam war, grew up in the Depression, raised kids in the 50s & 60s - they have a unique set of stories to tell that give greater context to how our family came to be and the society we live in. That's enriching. Also, the fact that they love your kids is huge. I feel 100% at ease with my parents watching my kids because I know how they treat children - I lived it! There will never be a more thoroughly vetted, highly recommended, more loving person to watch them. I realize lots of families have reasons why they can't rely on their parents to be caregivers to the kids, for even one hour, but I think supervised time with the grandparents is still worthwhile if they can be loving and warm to the kids.
