“…Caring for left-behind grandchildren tends to result in mixed feelings for grandparents in skipped generation households. On the one hand, grandparents may derive a sense of purpose from caring for their grandchildren, appreciate their grandchildren’s companionship, and anticipate the potential for more remittances from their adult migrant children (Baker & Silverstein, 2012; Ingersoll-Dayton, Punpuing, Tangchonlatip, & Yakas, 2018; Ingersoll-Dayton, Tangchonlatip, Punpuing, & Yakas, 2018; Ingersoll-Dayton, Punpuing, Tangchonlatip, & Yakas, 2017; Narongchai & Ayuwat, 2011; Thang, 2012). On the other hand, grandparents may feel trapped by their caregiving responsibilities, worried about their own health, and concerned that they do not have sufficient financial resources to raise their grandchildren (Ingersoll-Dayton, Punpuing, et al., 2018).…”

A common phenomenon in rural Thailand is that adult children migrate to find work and leave their children behind in the care of their grandparents. The resulting living arrangement is referred to as a skipped generation household. This arrangement can benefit the intergenerational family but can also be associated with conflict. This study explores different types of conflict between grandparents and their adult children in skipped generation households and how they manage these conflicts. In-depth interviews were conducted with 48 grandparents in rural Thailand. Using thematic analysis, conflicts including decision to care for grandchildren, how to raise and discipline grandchildren, where the grandchildren should live, grandchildren’s education, and inconsistent remittances from the migrant children to their parents were identified. The findings revealed the strategies grandparents use to cope by either trying to prevent or dealing with conflicts. Buddhist teachings play an important role in the way families react to conflict.
