That is common here, I'm an Aussie with a Japanese wife, I just invited her grandparents to live with us. (Grab spa is old and grandma has to look after him, this way we can help, and grandma can help my wife when we have a child)

isn't it their own children who should take care of them? I find it odd they skipped one generation and they are going to burden you

I think help from them with your child will be much less valuable (close to zero due to advanced age) than your help to them

Some people perform selfless acts because they're decent people.
