Подробный ответ

1) I agree with Tanya that people can have different opinions about the same thing. It is natural because families, traditions and personal experience are different. I also agree with Jane that grandparents should not always be expected to look after grandchildren full-time, because they have their own lives and health.

2) In my country, some of these statements are true, but not all of them.

Most grandparents live their independent lives and don’t feel like taking care of their grandchildren full-time. — True.
It’s quite rare to find elderly grandparents living together with their adult children. — True.
In most cases elderly parents are put into old people’s homes. — False.
When children grow up they move out of their parents’ houses. — True.
Grandparents living close to their small grandchildren are found much more often in the countryside. — True.
Most grandparents would be horrified at the idea of giving up their independent lives and moving into their children’s homes to look after their grandchildren full-time. — True.

3) I partly agree with you. Grandparents love their grandchildren, but they also need time for themselves. They should help when they can, but it is not fair to expect them to look after children all the time.
