What do you know about the blessings of being a grandmom unless you are one and the one who loves her granddaughter like her own daughter. Well, the relationship is unparalleled, the love is unending, the emotion is overwhelming and it makes life worth living . A grandchild brings back your youth , your children take away your youth . So, I would recommend that all grandparents take over the responsibility of nurturing their grandkids by spending time in instilling the right values in them. The time spent with them will make you fitter , alert and younger . Do you need anything else ?
While bringing up your own kids you are younger, impatient, irresponsible, immature and busy learning and coping with a new existence . Marriage brings a lot of responsibilities and parenthood adds to the woes . On the other hand, by the time you are a grandparent you are older, experienced, mature, patient and responsible....the qualities required to bring up a kid . So, who is better with kids ? We all know the answer . As inexperienced parents we make a rule book of do`s and dont`s and want the kids to follow it to a T . Generally kids defy the rule book bringing out the worst in parents followed by crying, shouting , screaming etc ertc . Grandparents on the other hand scoff at rule books which they themselves had also made when they were young parents because experience and maturity have taught them otherwise . In todays nuclear families it is a blessing to be staying with your kids and grandkids . I feel every moment is worth living , precious and to be cherished .
