Should the elderly take care of their children?

Speaking of taking care of children, this is the responsibility of each of us as parents. However, most parents leave their children to the elderly at home to take care of them because of work. However, some elderly people are really not suitable to take care of children.

Old people who overly spoil their children

Many old people are strict with their children and spoil their grandchildren. They manage their sons well, but they are helpless with their grandchildren. They obey and pamper their children in everything. As time goes by, the children become more and more temperamental, arrogant and unreasonable, and have no respect for their elders. They can only withstand praise but cannot tolerate criticism. Children who grow up under the excessive pampering of the elderly have a strong rebellious mentality and will become furious if there is even the slightest displeasure. If things go on like this, there may not be any good results, and it may even ruin the child's life.

Elderly people who are contracted for all matters

They all say that having an old person in the family is like having a treasure. How happy it is to have an old person to help take care of the children. It is a good thing for the elderly to love their children, but they cannot do everything. If the children are overly dependent and develop lazy habits, it is not love, but will harm the children.

Elderly people with poor physical condition and chronic diseases

If the elderly at home are in poor physical condition, they are indeed not suitable for taking care of children. If the child is still young and has poor immunity, he or she is easily infected by bacteria. Of course, what’s more important is that the elderly are in poor physical condition, so how can they withstand the torment of their children? This is when they need someone to take care of them. If parents can take care of themselves, then they can. The traditional virtue of respecting the elderly and loving the young still cannot leave.
