"I am dearer than the boy but the boy's son." A saying that grandparents use in almost every house to express their great love and affection for their grandchildren. But between the delusions of grandparents and the firmness of fathers in parenting, do children spoil?
Parents are keen to raise their children according to certain standards, and often use firmness and softness according to what situations and circumstances dictate. But on the other hand, we find grandparents in their behavior with their grandchildren, alternating between cuddling and defending them from their parents' anger, and sometimes rebuking the parents if they offend or anger the child! The anger of the grandparents at their grandchildren, the reaction is not comparable to the action of the parents in terms of using the soft method of reprimanding.
For this reason, many parents refuse any interference in the upbringing of their children, especially from the grandparents, as they spoil their upbringing for them, and they narrate a trend of authority in education. They also narrate that the time of grandparents is different from the time of children, and the requirements of education differed, and grandparents are not able to raise this generation, so the aspirations of parents and children are different from those of grandparents.
However, we cannot in any way deny the positive role of grandparents in the lives of their grandchildren by virtue of their experience, wisdom, and age rich with experiences, legacies and stories. All of this is a source of experience for the child and helps inculcate values and morals.
Do you think that interference by grandparents in raising children is a right for them or a corruption? Is this out of control from the hand of parents over the behavior of their children?
