Or dead, or too old to handle them, or don't live near you, or just don't want to be bothered. My parents are great, but they did tell me straight up that they wouldn't be a substitute for daycare. They do a lot but just don't want to be responsible like that, and I honestly don't blame them. They watch them whenever we need a babysitter or have to travel for events which is great. My wife's parents are dead.
I love my mom, but I know how she raised me and I know how she was with my daughter when she stayed the night on occasion and I wouldn't have let her watch my daughter long term when she was little. She's not abusive, but she's on the narcissistic side with a temper and she can't handle a small child violating her unwritten rules.
I remember there was a wicker wastebasket in the room she had set up for my daughter and, being a small child, she had picked it apart while left alone up there. The fit my mom threw at me was not fun. At least she didn't throw it at her... but I knew she would eventually.
