Childcare Survey - is too much expected of grandparents?

SS have enough to do than try to sort out silly people who are petulant about having to rearrange childcare arrangements.

It sounds far from a scientific survey. I know I'm being picky but, where is the evidence to support the claim that a daughter reported her mother to Social Services because she couldn't or wouldn't look after grandchildren? I find that very hard to believe.
OP - why do you have no respect for Social Services, yet hope they'll 'laugh in the face' of someone making a referral.

Maybe as Jalima says, school is out for the summer

From the comments above it does not sound like a very scientific survey.

Sorry GNHQ!

Thanks Beau and Farmor

Just goes to show how much we've lost since the days of the extended family all living under the same roof and sharing childcare.
And elderlycare.

I suspect most of us using Gransnet only use forum and don’t look at the rest of the site- at least that’s what I do! New members are more likely to browse around other parts and find things like survey results.

This survey is on the main 'Grandparenting' page under 'Results of our latest childcare survey'. I read it myself a few days ago.

Oh, I will stop singing ninathenana
But where is the OP?

Jalima I remember reading the quote the OP mentions somewhere, can't think where though.

or even to the article



goes away singing 'School's Out for Summer'

Link to survey?

Could you provide a link please lottagelady

Why have you no respect for social services? Do you know what they do? Can you imagine what would happen if there was no social service? Not just for children and families, but for the elderly and the vulnerable of all ages?
