In this powerful episode of Mother of Podcasts, we sit down with Amit Sangwan to unpack a question that quietly sits in so many modern homes:
Are grandparents becoming free nannies?
With more nuclear families, dual-income households, and rising childcare costs, grandparents are often stepping in to raise the next generation. But is this support a blessing, an expectation, or an unspoken burden?
In this episode, we explore:
• The emotional and physical load on grandparents
• Where help ends and obligation begins
• The impact on parenting boundaries and marriage dynamics
• How to create clarity, respect, and healthy expectations across generations
This is not a blame game. It’s an honest conversation about love, duty, entitlement, and changing roles in modern families.
If you’re a parent relying on support, a grandparent feeling stretched, or someone navigating expectations from extended family, this episode will make you pause and reflect.
Watch till the end and tell us in the comments:
Are grandparents helpers… or unpaid caregivers in today’s world?
