my condolences to the world that human made it in the wrong direction imho. one of it is where grandparents have to take care of the grandchildren. i was raised by my parents with very little intervention from their parent, so i will strive to do the same to my kids, even though we went the same direction like everyone else of "both parent" working condition. this is very small and peaceful town so its easy to take care of them sending to schools buying foods etc. everything is 5 minutes drive. and we are lucky to have those good and trustworthy immigrants who can work as babysitter for small amount of money. it hurt me when seeing parents have to do this, sending kids to their grandparents, their hardwork is enough raising us it should be the time to pay them back by taking care of them in return, not to give more burden. my condolences to the OP too but one man/woman gone is for another millions' lesson. we can take lesson from this covid situation or, we can curse, its our choice. its us who made it happened, not anything else imho.
