Experiencing Grandparenthood: Meanings of Being a Grandparent [Despite being a universally recognised social category – a role that an individual will assume when his or her offspring becomes a parent – what constitutes being a grandparent nevertheless encompasses some degree of vagueness, especially when compared with other the familial social roles of parent or child.

Abstract

[Despite being a universally recognised social category – a role that an individual will assume when his or her offspring becomes a parent – what constitutes being a grandparent nevertheless encompasses some degree of vagueness, especially when compared with other the familial social roles of parent or child. This perhaps explains why questions relating to ‘what it means to be a grandparent’ have attracted much attention in the literature of grandparenthood.]
