It was no surprise when Marian Robinson moved into the White House to continue to lend a hand to the First Family. In some ways she is no different	from	the	5.7	million	 other American grands (2000 Census) who live in the same home as their grandchildren. According to an AARP 2002 study, 15 percent of American families rely on grandparent caregivers while the parents are on the job. For those families and the 4.5 million children who live in their grandparents’ home (also according to the 2000 Census), Mrs. Robinson brings into public view	the	role	of	70	million	 grandparents who help raise their children’s children. Marian Robinson is not the	first	grandparent	in	the	 White House, but most of the previous grandparents were the	presidents	and	first	ladies	 themselves. In 1908 it was estimated that in at least ten of the previous 26 presidential administrations grandchildren had been prominent members of the presidential family.
