Dad boasts of in-laws who babysit kids 2 to 3 times a week, criticizes Boomer grandparents who refuse to watch their grandchildren: 'I can’t imagine ever being that selfish'

While it may not be quite the life-changing experience that becoming a parent is, being a grandparent is still a big responsibility. Assuming that parents and grandparents have a good relationship with one another, it is understandable that moms and dads may expect that their own moms and dads are going to help out now and then.

However, when parents and grandparents have different ideas about what the grandparenting role entails, it can be easy for issues to arise. Some grandparents have a fear of their offspring depending on them too much for childcare, while others resent not being able to see their grandchildren enough. The level to which grandparents should be involved in raising their grandchildren can prove to be a controversial topic among all people who have kids, with many different factors at play. Just like with parents, not all grandparents are going to have the same attitudes.
