Even though we are now used to thinking of families in terms of the nuclear unit (parents and children) humans are social beings and benefit from having a very wide network of connections. Research shows that grandparents (as well as aunts and uncles) contribute to the family's "generativity" or passing on of family values, family stories, social skills, and many other positive attributes. Children with secure and extensive social and family networks tend to be exposed to less risky behaviors and their parents also benefit from the extra psychosocial support.

Unfortunately the question is too vague. What society are you relating this question to? Western, Asian, African?

In Western countries grandparents have a minor role in assisting with grandchildren, and a good reason to have big family gatherings.

In Asian countries grandmothers are regarded with respect because of their wisdom and greater knowledge of life experience. They usually stick with their sons or daughters after they get married and are taken care of by all members of the family.

Grandmothers are also an important addition to the kitchen.
