Simply not true. My grandparents moved from India to watch us. They didn't have to. They did live with us for a while but in my parents house

In no way did we live with. They lived with us.

Ultimately this is cultural. JD Vance talks about this when it comes to his mother in law who did the same thing.

Cultures that value kids will have more. My parents did the same for us

Last I checked, cultures that have access to contraception and female education have fewer kids, independent of religion or tradition or practice of valuing kids.

Indian culture is no exception; total fertility rate has declined in the last ~50 years from ~6 children per woman to ~2, and continues to decline.
