They could get a full-time nanny for their baby who probably could follow most of their rules (though I don't know how she'd get around never cooking unless she was given a vast takeout budget), but either they can't afford that kind of luxury, or they're too foolish to understand that they will never get what they desire in a daycare.

He was literally at the daycare for 3 days! It's a miracle that the grandma could last as long as she did under this kind of scrutiny.
Kind grandma runs in-home daycare for her 5 grandchildren, gets accused of neglect by her entitled son-in-law because she didn't follow his inane rules: 'I can't watch more than 1 additional child while babysitting [his baby], I can't cook'
Childcare is one of the most expensive parts of raising a young kid. Some parents' entire paycheck only covers childcare, forcing them to choose between forking up the cash or sacrificing their long-term career. As the incoming Vice President has said, grandparents can be a cheap alternative to daycares that take mortgage-sized payments every month. Not every parent is lucky enough to have their parents alive, living in the same area as them, and willing to care for their kids as needed. Parents with such generosity and good fortune in their family should be grateful because bonding with a grandparent for an extended period can be so meaningful for the kid and the grandparent alike.
Of course, there are situations where grandparents who offer to babysit vagrantly go against their parent's wishes and do harm to the child. The story we covered about the grandma who put Froot Loops in her grandchild's bottle is a perfect example. But the grandma in this story did nothing to hurt the child; she communicated her boundaries and still got dragged through the mud for it.
