I never knew them

Never, but then again I've never had any caretaker responsibility

Not directly, but there is one that stresses my parents out. Which it turn burdens me a little.

Nah. My grandfathers died when I was a child. My surviving grandmother isn't a burden to me or her other grandchildren, or even her own children--she's very healthy and does for herself. She's also pretty forward-thinking and intelligent so you don't worry much about her putting herself in danger out of stubbornness or just an inability to understand the world changing around her. My other grandmother got very ill, but I never provided any care for her because she simply didn't want to see or speak to me. But if she had wanted me to help her I don't think I would have seen her as a burden. My dad needs a lot of help already, and he's only 57, and I don't see him as a burden so I don't think I'd have felt that way about my grandparents. But who knows.

No not at all. My grandparents basically raised me. Yea I'm pretty sure I'd be in an orphanage with them. My grandmother is still around ☺️😊

Nope. Only one of my grandparents is still alive and she's absolutely not a burden. She doesn't live with us. When I was younger I used to help her with some chores but now I barely see her.

No. Not at all. I was young and had lots of energy to take them to medical appointments, help them fill out forms, and help care for them in any way that I could.
