““Grandparents are being asked to help financially and relieve the financial burden of child care, by taking care of their grandchildren. They have a tendency to be healthier and want to be involved in their grandchildren’s lives. They’re not as interested in moving away from their families. If anything, they would move to be closer to their grandchildren.””
