They do, because many grandparents will expect women to do more of traditional household and will treat her more badly or with more resentment if she does not. Also, full time childcare is quite tiring for older people, grandparents who are strong enough are typically employed. |

Full-time, sure. But what about flexibly available when necessary?
Also, traditional household provides too little privacy, but living within 10 minutes walking distance is fantastic.
There are all these situations like "grandma, I need to go shopping, could you please take care of the kids for about 30 minutes? maybe later if it is more convenient for you" where having good social infrastructure is awesome, and I cannot imagine how more difficult life would be without it.
Seems to me that as a society we went from one extreme to the other, skipping over the point where things could work really great.
