As grandparents, Gilda and Jerome have assumed major child-care responsibilities of their grandchildren. How would Neugarten and Weinstein describe Gilda and Jerome?

Answer: guardians

Explanation: guardians assume major roles of taking care of the person who is incapable of taking care of themselves in this case minors so someone who is not a parent but is able to assume major roles on the children is known as their guardian which can also be known as the legal guardian of the children when it is officially approved by the court.
