"In an ideal world,
children are born into a family where they are welcomed with open arms by two
loving parents who are fully prepared to take on the responsibilty for their
care," says Susan Stiffelman, a family therapist and Grandparents.com
advice columnist . "This leaves room for the grandparents to
wholeheartedly embrace the arrival of their new grandchild without concern about
being in both the parent or grandparent role, either emotionally or
financially."
"But when the ideal isn't
happening, the village around this newborn baby — whomever that may be — needs
to rally and come together as best they can."
