Gradmom: Our Home Is Not A Daycare For Our Grand Kids

Relationships July, 12, 2025

In a YouTube video, this woman ranted about how today’s parents are not taking the job of being parents seriously. They are focused on being the best business entrepreneurs or the best employee in their firm. The idea of being the best parent doesn’t even appear in their heads.

This grandmother has made it clear that she isn’t going to take any of that. In her rant, she said, “Let me tell you, the new generation, y’all millennial, you got it all [expletive] up.

Because I became a grandparent does not automatically make me the babysitter or day care. Grandparents — true grandparents — they’re supposed to raise their children right to where y’all start having kids, you can … provide for your own children and secure their daycare so you can go to work, so you can go out, so you can do anything else. True grandparents are supposed to be able to call their grandkids. Y’all supposed to come over and visit.”

If you think that was it, oh no! It was just the beginning.

She further added, “Grandparents are supposed to be able to come to your house and stay with you and visit with their grandkids. You are suppose to drop your kids off when the grandparents call for them and in their leisure time. Grandparents are not supposed to be day cares.

We have our own life. We worked very hard to get everybody out of the house. Why would we want to raise your kids and keep your kids?”

She says that she isn’t a drop-off point where her daughter can drop off her kids because she has dealt with enough kids. She raised her to be able to raise her own kids.

People admired this grandmom for saying what she felt and the comments came pouring in.

One person commented, “This woman just stated ALL FACTS!!!!”

Another one said, “She is right. She raised her kids already.”

One of them considered her 150 percent correct!

Another woman expressed how grandmothers are important in one’s life. She wrote, “I’m a grandma and I help when I can because my mamma helped me when I was raising babies. Can’t do it without Grandma.”

So, it might be tough raising your kids without grandparents but own up to your mistakes, oops, my bad! Your children and raise them up like your parents did.
