Grandparents, individually known as grandmother and grandfather, are the parents of a person's father or mother – paternal or maternal.

It is not known for certain what spurred this increase in longevity but largely results in the improved medical technology and living standard, but it is generally believed that a key consequence of three generations being alive together was the preservation of information which could otherwise have been lost; an example of this important information might have been where to find water in times of drought. ...

This is allowed on Shabbat because it is indirect and because the fire might not extinguish. In civil law There is a rule that ''grama benizakin patur''. If somebody caused financial harm to somebody else via an action that was not guaranteed to harm them, the person cannot be forced by a court to pay, although he might be morally obligated to.
