( In this article, “grandmother” refers to your child’s grandmother, who is your own mother or mother-in-law)
Grandparents can be a great help to working parents in many ways.
One thing for sure, they can induce enormous pleasure, love and care from their grandchildren.
In most families all around the world, grandmothers are regarded as “the teacher” , a legendary expert in motherhood and household chores fields that young moms would take for granted.

Most grandmothers remember well from their olden days experiences about motherhood but they couldn’t stop themselves from interfering.
Yes, all grandmothers love their grandchildren very much, regardless of sex gender.
Most older folks are surprised with the new technology that had changes from the time they cared their own babies compare to the new era.
Fortunately, grandmothers are able to adapt themselves with the modern method of child caring instead of sticking to their old fashion rules.

When your children are left to your mother’s or mother-in-law’s care whether for half a day , daily ( before you set off to work and knock off from work ), weekdays, there should be honest understanding and reasonable compromising between the two of you.
Mum should have confidence that her children will be well taken care of by grandmother.

I think it is in the culture that grandparents are the one who babysit their grandchildren, especially in Asian countries. However, I am lucky that my mother is so hands-on to her children. We didn't experience taking good care of my granny. The mere fact, my granny don't like us. Why do we need to force ourselves to her? But then, she turned to a new leaf when my siblings and I are grown up. She realized that we are precious souls to her.
In China, most parents entrusted their babies to their mother-in-law or biological mothers. Since most of them are so busy at work and no one can help them. They don't prefer to hire a personal babysitter because of trust. They are afraid that their children will be maltreated.
I agree with you.
Here in our country, Chinese families prefer to have own mom or mother in law to care for their little ones, unless the old folks are unwilling to take care, then had to resort to Indonesian maids

However, there are many daily costs of caring for kids. Consider travel expenses, including the gas purchased to get to and from the job and for any carpooling of the kids, the toll the travel takes on her car, as well as taxi or public transportation costs she may incur during the day. In addition, there are plenty of meal, snack, entertainment,
There is a myth in our society that says that children who are brought up by their grandparents are spoilt. Do you believe this as well? Am sure most people would agree with me on this one. As much as we may try to assume that fact it has some truth to it. If there is anything I would not change in my life, it would be doing or taking care of my children or child the same way my mum did it. Because for starters when I look at my life I can say confidently that my mum raised me well. It's really not about the old days or the new technologies that are coming up in our lives everyday, it's the technique that They used to bring up kids that matters. Our parents used to be harsh but at the same time they were loving and firm. Unlike now when parents are just being harsh towards their kids and not being loving enough. They are not getting involved in their kids lives, they don't care what the kids are doing it where they are going and that I can say is quite serious. So I feel grandparents are like the world's saviors when it comes to taking care of their grandchildren. They have actually saved day.
