In American culture, it is the exception that the children are raised by the grandparents. Usually, only in the case of death or illness, or maybe incarceration of the child's parent (s). I know and understand that in the Chinese society, this is more predominant and has been for some time now, due to a variety of societal and cultural factors.

I think that whenever possible a child should be raised by his or her parents. This is what is most natural and what is best for the child. Grandparents have a role, but that should be as the 'grandparent' and not primary caregiver. Grandparents tend to spoil grandchildren, and with advancing age they may not have enough energy and or be able to physically do all the things that younger parents are able to do with their child.
