Hi. mukeshkumarj432. It has a lot to do with a grandparent being lonely and needing some company from their own grandchildren. Grandparents love to be around their grands because they are delightful and playful in nature.

In my case, it is because i grow up with the grandparents. I spent my first 12 years wi8th them. Though not entirely but as longs as i can remember, I am with them most of the time. They are my defender, my watchdog, my supporter and my stressbuffer. :D whenever i do something that could annoy my uncles and aunts they are always there to defend me. Since my parents are not at home often they were there to watch for me, take care of me until such time i preferred to be with them than to be with my parents. They are not are not just grandparents to me they are more than a friend and my best friends. I can tell them freely all my opinions, my dreams and how i feel towards everything including them and my parents. Unlike my parents you cannot answer them back. All they wanted to hear from you is a "YES". No more more buts and ifs.
