There has been an evolution in the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren. Grandparents are responsible for the future career of their grandchildren. It is their duty to be in charge of the tuition fees of their grandchildren, it is supposed to be better than spoiling them with all kind of sweets...The main reason given for this point of view is that parents are not capable of saving enough to give their children a good education and the children themselves aren’t either. These facts make it for many people very clear that it are the grandparents, who have saved a lot, should be supporting their family financially.

Five sentences: one too many. Good balance between shorter and longer sentences.
