Grandparents are becoming increasingly important figures in the lives of their grandchildren and are often in the position of care providers. However, divorced grandparents and grandfathers in particular are less likely to provide care for their grandchildren. This article examines the reasons for this. Drawing on the literature on this subject, the authors first argue that divorced grandfathers are less likely than their married counterparts both to provide care and to provide care often. This may be because compared to married grandfathers they tend to: (1) have a larger number of children and grandchildren (because they often repartner after divorce); (2) live farther away from their offspring; (3) have less frequent contact with their offspring; and (4) be in poorer health. Using Czech SHARE (Survey of Health Ageing and Retirement in Europe) data from waves two and four, the authors show that divorced grandfathers in the Czech Republic are less likely to care for their grandchildren and provide frequent care primarily owing to the fact that they have less frequent contact with their children. The authors found no support for the assumption that the negative effect of divorce can be explained by the number of children or grandchildren divorced grandparents have, by their geographical distance from offspring or by their subjective health.

In modern societies, extended families are less frequent, while nuclear families are the norm, which is why narrow systems include parent-and-child subsystems. When disturbances and crises arise in such a structure, these situations are conducive to the mechanism of role reversal (parentification). It involves the system’s drawing from the resources available to it and thus transferring to children the responsibility and tasks that belong to adults. The subject of this study is a broader perception of the family taking into account its surroundings, especially grandparents. Based on the autobiographical narratives of individuals who experienced parentification in childhood, the reconstruction and analysis of their role as people of significance to their grandchildren was made. Grandparents supported their grandchildren, acted as guardians of the family, and ensured a sense of security, endowing parentified individuals with positive experiences and childhood memories.

We współczesnych społeczeństwach coraz rzadziej mamy do czynienia z rodzinami wielopokoleniowymi, standardem zaś są rodziny nuklearne, a zatem wąskie systemy obejmujące podsystem rodzicielski i dziecięcy. Gdy w takiej strukturze dochodzi do zakłóceń, kryzysów są to sytuacje sprzyjające mechanizmowi odwracania ról (parentyfikacji). Polega on na czerpaniu przez system z dostępnych mu zasobów, a więc przenoszeniu odpowiedzialności i zadań przynależnych dorosłym na dzieci. Przedmiotem niniejszego opracowania jest szersze postrzeganie rodziny, uwzględniające jej otoczenie, a więc dziadków. Na podstawie narracji autobiograficznych ludzi, którzy doświadczyli parentyfikacji w dzieciństwie, dokonano rekonstrukcji i analizy ich roli jako osób znaczących dla wnuków. Dziadkowie wspierali swoich wnuków, pełnili funkcję strażników rodziny, zapewniali poczucie bezpieczeństwa, wyposażając osoby parentyfikowane w pozytywne doświadczenia i wspomnienia związane z dzieciństwem.
