Well in proportion to the time the parents spend with the kids vs the time you are inconvenienced by them spending time with their kids balances out. Of course they will have a huge benefit from raising their kids. They raised them. But you will also have a benefit from the small temporary hassle it gives you during these times.

I am not saying that parents do not deserve attention from their children, I am only making the point that the proposed benefits are disproportionately beneficial to parents.

I'm saying they are proportionally beneficial to the parents if the portion of time they spend with their kids is drastically higher than the portion of time you are inconvenienced by that act.

You are asserting that I have some duty to do favors for parents? Should I do their dry cleaning, and get them a coffee if it's 'more convenient' as well?
