God Bless all these Grandparents!!! You need to be recognized for doing this... These children are blessed and it would be my prayer they grow up to know just how blessed they are.

I was raised by my grandparents. It's not exactly easy to raise children on social security income.

We raised our eldest grandchild a boy never ever been sorry. 💖Love him dearly

Im a single nana and single mom to my youngest she's 16. I've had baby for over a year and I don't see this ever ending or her going back to mom

Proud of you, Cathy. I wish you and your kids all the best. ❤

The 1year I lived with my grandparents was the best year of my young life. I got C pluses and Bs in school and being enthusiastic about my life. Once I started drinking and using drugs my grandmother said she wasn’t going to deal with this again. I went back home and got into serious criminal and drug addiction problems. I don’t blame my grandparents for not being able 26:25 to keep me with them 😇 They gave me the gifts of love no matter what I did or didn’t do. God bless them both ❤

❤❤❤❤❤❤

This is heartbreaking and heartwarming ❤

My grandparents were my blessing they raised me❤

These grandparents are making a difference in those young lives

These grandparents are real heroes!! They sacrified their everything for these kids. And mostly, the kids are better off with them. I've seen some people raised by their grandparents, they've grown into beautiful and compassionate adults!

Loved this one and would love an update. Phoenix will be about twenty now.

I wish she’d said what happened to the other three and how old they were/are.

My heart goes out to you ❤ I'm in the same position. It's tough! God Bless you!

Thats a cool 4 generation pitcher i love that idea i wish i had one like that.

Good job grandma

Thank You for this. I'm raising my grandkids as well.

I have adopted two great grandchildren from a grandson and a granddaughter. They are cousins. I am in America and I know some kin have had issues with the system here but I was fortunate both times. I have my 13 year old great granddaughter now. I am so sorry for those that have struggles with the system as it is stressful enough dealing with all the issues the kids are going through and the heart break of children’s and grandchildren on drugs and homelessness.

Is there any GRG support group in Honolulu HI?

Bless these grandparents! The parents that choose drugs and alcohol over their children are selfish!

Thank God for grandparents.

My heart goes ❤️ to anyone raising children that they didn’t birth! All children deserve to be loved and feel wanted!! No child chooses to be here we choose for them!!! So much respect ✊ to these these people!

My stepmom (who I'm still close to even though she's long divorced from my dad) has no grandchildren but is raising 2 of her niece's grandchildren. That's too much burden for a 75 year old woman but she does it gladly. Her niece's lineage is particularly plagued by dysfunction...died from drugs a few years back. She had four daughters and only one has a nice stable family. One other ther one is ok too but not as traditional. But the youngest two...drugs, violent boyfriends, criminal activity ect. Each if them had two children each. My stepmom raises two, the above mentioned stable family daughter raises one, and my step brother raises another. Hawaiian style, the family always comes together like that, no matter what.

Your 70s is old to take on a grandchild, u have a big heart. But if u feel ok, why not. I hope you live until he’s at least 15 or 16. That way he’s older and more able to cope emotionally, don’t go yet, 12 or 13 is a bit young,

My daughter lost two jobs because of the pandemic and she had to relocate to another state far far away. My grandson being in school came to live with me. It’s definitely a change as I am fifty seven and raising a boy. I see this happening more and more. My daughter didn’t have a drug issue, hers was a job issue but we still have to do what we have to do.

God bless this woman 💞🙏💞

Yes I have 4 I'm raising by my self.1&2&5&7

I’m a grandma raising my granddaughter mother walked out

I hope 6 years later they are doing well . Maybe almost done ✅

I hope many more “parents” leave their children alone with their parents if they know they hate being one. Just because you’re there physically doesn’t mean your a good parent. I’m saying this because my Husbands sister does this. She left her 2 oldest and then comes and pretends like she’s been there all those years. She doesn’t like being a mom. She always says “man I wish I can just leave”. Leave then! Everyone knows she doesn’t love her children. She let her parents and sister raise them (8 total) basically. Doesn’t make them food, buys only junk food, doesn’t care for their health, let’s them sleep on the floor while she sleeps on a bed, doesn’t care if they shower or eat, makes the oldest change the youngest diaper, goes out every weekend, etc.. I have tried to be compassionate and helpful to her yet anyone tells her anything she tells them off. It’s irritating! If you don’t like being a “mother” leave! The kids will be better off without you telling them that you hate being there! 😤

what an amazing grandma!

America women are lazy

Junkies reqp the rewards and pay no concequence. Backwards system

Must be nice to pop out kids, and just make your parents and grandparents raise them

grand parents do it in a gesture of 💕 love but raisin a kid in North America cost 250k. So it’s also a very generous gesture. That been said, my is son is 7 years old. We go through 7 fertility cycle to have my son. He is the fist grand child on both side family...he got so much love from the large family. We can’t predict the futur and we hope the best for him. But if it happen he will be teenager father, my husband and I will definitely raise our grand kid. All kids deserve a family. No doubt on this.

My ex was raised by his grandparents. The only downside was that they both passed on while he was in his 20s. After that, he felt really alone

My grandparents raised me from the time I was 8 to the time I was 16. I have nothing but good things to say about them

I know how that is I'm waiting 23 children I am single poem

The parents should be made to pay her some money for caring for her kids.

Hi, I live at Saint-Louis de Gonzague in province of Quebec. Sorry for my English , I will tried to explain to you guys. Question: Province of Quebec they have a group like yours? Association? Of grandparents raising grandchildren??

It's a scary thing to start with ,but the courage comes and grows I had a mom who needed help from my grandie and my aunt but they helped my mother with two weeks holidays and she needed it for the rest of the year and my sister's kid dependent on her as long as she !iced we all miss he now but remember the good times she gave us from small children untill the oldest was 19 .when she Added away .

I work for one of the major U.S. supermarket chains. Trust me, I've seen the scenarios presented in this video time and again. There are many, many grandparents who are raising their grandchildren. So much of the time, the reason why boils down to one word - drugs. What really floora me is that some of them are actually GREAT grandparents. I don't know what this world is coming to. My hear goes out to these grandparents and great grandparents (sometimes aunts and uncles also) who care enough to step up to the plate.

Proud of these ladies. You got this.

If people are grown up enough to reproduce they should take care of their kids. It’s not fair to the grandparents. There are women who can’t have children and these baby makers want to have fun.

I work for a social service agency and i see this alot. God bless these grandparents

May God give her prime health amd stenght, and loong live so in turn when her grandkids will take good care and make her happy so she could put her feet up and read more good and interesting books... bless you grandma!!!

Can we get an update about poppa John and Phoenix?

Good on these people. I wish them well.

So sweet
