Modern parents can’t be super parents: they have to work, do errands, have time off for their mental health, maybe even do some volunteer work. How can they do without having a village? Luckily, grandparents often come into the picture, and almost half of American grandpas and grandmas regularly care for their grandkids at least once every few months.
These parents were looking after their grandkids for a few days. But, after the granddad had a medical emergency, grandma had to scramble and leave them with a friend couple. After the parents found out, they were furious: how could the grandparents leave their children with virtual strangers and not tell them?
