As illustrated in the story of Superman and the Gospels, men left home when their fathers died. One potential disciple of Jesus actually told him that he would follow Jesus after his father died i.e. "... permit me first to bury my father." In Luke 12:52, Jesus does not mention the grandfather as part of the family members that reside under the same roof; it is father, mother, son, daughter, and father's mother.

Alfred Edersheim makes the case that Jesus' baptism was in A.D. 26 making Jesus 30 years old when his public ministry began and traditionally soon after Joseph died. This places the death of Joseph at age 46 to 56 years. This made it unlikely that the average man in New Testament times would see his grandchildren. If Joseph were average, he would not have seen his grandchildren either and this age range would be typical for Joseph's male contemporaries.
