Harvard has delved into this question. In short, this is what they discovered: it’s the same love but only through another lens.
Whatever the case, there is a growing trend of grandparents who hang with their grands, becoming best friends.

Catch the show at the lobby of the Greenville County Detention Center when Perry Wilson cleans up the place with his darling grandson in tow.
Wilson says the two pals spend as much time together as possible. How cool is it when your best friend is your grandfather?
What drives men over 50 to rise before daybreak and work out for an hour before the rest of the world falls out of bed?

The fashion gurus, known as the Gray Foxes, say the reason is clear to them: they want to enjoy their grandchildren as long as possible. The little guys and dolls are their best friends.
Sure, a growing number of Generation Xers disappear, abandoning their offspring. But it’s no drudgery for certain OGs to take up the slack and rush to the rescue.
They say the link is deeper than necessity. It’s not work; they’re caring for their best friends, hanging out, and having fun.
