I wonder how much the feeling is one-sided. I visit my grandparents more often than they visit me (even generously discounting for physical ability, income, and the one-to-many relationship). I think the way to measure this might be grandparents moving out of state of family (think Arizona and Florida). Obviously the stigma of aging should get the bulk of the responsibility here. Any got any advice on how to re-norm grandparents? I'm hesitating on moving out of state during my kids early childhood.

I know families that do that, and the payoff is great for the kids, the parents, and the grandparents. The kids love their grandparents, the grandparents love taking care of the kids, and the parents get safe, reliable, and free help. It's a win all around. It's the way things ought to be.
