They have more patience, time and also a desire to spoil. Of course we’re talking about grandparents, who are literally treasures for all families. Grandparents are parents, after all, but they got a second chance to do with children everything they feel like. Some do not get such a chance because they live on the other side of the country and see their grandchildren only a few times a year. Others, on the other hand, live just down the street, yet still do not meet. Grandchildren then miss their grandparents’ love, because it is irreplaceable.
Adults with a different view of the world
Why are children so excited by grandparents? They are usually adults who allow them what parents, teachers or other adults the children meet do not. Sometimes grandparents are so open to children’s behavior that they do not mind drawing on the walls, playing games all day or watching cartoons. Often they forgive their beloved grandchildren the mandatory evening wash or extend bedtime. Grandparents also often take grandchildren on holiday, on trips or on adventures to children’s parks or the zoo. That of course brings a different perspective on the world to the children.
Life in the countryside
There are certainly grandparents who do not even invite their children and their families for lunch, but there are hordes of those who would literally, as the saying goes, split themselves for their beloved grandchildren. In that case parents have peace at weekends, because their children are looked after by grandmothers and grandfathers who provide them with a stay in another town or in the countryside. There you do have to work noticeably more, but the experiences are also much richer. Children then take away beautiful memories for a lifetime and long for grandmother’s rice pudding or cakes even in their dreams. Grandmothers also know how to fry the best pancakes, know all the plants, and also know when the sun sets. These are experiences that are priceless.
Grandparents’ love is irreplaceable
Children can thus enjoy grandparental love on days off, at weekends or during the holidays. Conversely, they can give grandparents a piece of a modern outlook on the world, teach them to use smartphones or set the TV for evening viewing. Together they can enjoy tons of fun. It is true that grandparents sometimes spoil their grandchildren; however, they always mean well and are driven only by the desire to bring joy!
