Not everyone has capable grandparents. For instance, my dad is in senior home care with Alzheimers and my mom has pretty much since then relied on us 3 kids to drop by and help clean/grocery run. There's also no way she can catch a 3 yr old from running away. Then there's my FIL who chain smokes and has 2 bad knees hobbling around, so that's a big no. The only capable one is my MIL, who still works at the hospita/RN, and even then, she barely babysits. I think she once watched him for like 4 hours and she said never again till he's self capable. She does however sometimes grab a few items at the store and cooks for us.
