The correct answer is fun seeker grandparents.

According to the psychologist, Neugarten (1965) there are five different types of grandparenting styles. They are:

1. Formal grandparents

2. Fun seeker grandparents

3. Reservoirs of wisdom

4. Distant figures

5. Surrogate parents

Fun seeker grandparents refer to grandparents who entertain, play games with, and engage in fun activities with their grandchildren. Since Mitzi and Jason's children play with their grandparents, and have breakfast together every week, their children's grandparents can be defined as fun-seeker grandparents.
