Today the majority of children are raised by their grandparents, due to the fact that their parents are busy working. To what extent do you think it affects the whole family?
Many people believe that kids should be raised by their parents while there are some who believe that children should be raised by their grandparents. In my opinion, it is better for children to be raised by
