Grandparents: The Census Bureau reports that more than 1/3 of the 2.4 million grandparents who are primary care-givers to a grandchild living in a home without the child’s parents. These grandparents were responsible for “most of the child’s basic needs.” This means 42% of all 5.8 million U.S. grandparents live with a grandchild. (The Gazette 10/17/03)
