The question is incomplete and i think he wants to ask Grandparents or parents..
Well my answer would be grand parents if they are close to them and parents if they are friendly and caring..
:) Parents have their duty towards the kids... They will try to make the child reach the right path... :) In the meanhile, the kids may get kicks from parents... :P
But grand parents would be always patting them... So kids will never get the kicks from grand parents ;)
This description would just reveal whom the kids choose.. :) :) ;)
Sadly,in today's nuclear family kids hardly get a chance to interact with the divine gift whom we know as grand parents,they are the ones who bestow on their grand children nothing but the very best!
