What's it like to have an old man look after the children at home?

My husband and I are usually busy at work, and my mother-in-law has been helping us with our children. Let me talk about the advantages and disadvantages of old people taking care of children.

It's cool to have someone to look after the children. You can also live alone, watch movies, have candlelight dinners and travel, which is very literary or romantic. I can also concentrate on my career, stay up late and work overtime, and eat takeout all day, as if I had never had a baby.

It's not convenient to talk about it again.

First of all, the feeding methods of the elderly are not very scientific.

My mother-in-law is already a "very" good mother-in-law. She is not superstitious about indigenous methods and basically feeds scientifically, but she especially likes to let her children eat more. Children say they are full, but also let them "CD", eat when they are full, and can't waste food. She also took the cut fruit and fed it for a while while the children were playing, always looking for opportunities to feed the children. My mother-in-law likes to drink soup and soak rice, saying that soup is nutritious. Now children are used to it, and every time they eat rice, they will be spoiled.

These are all bad habits, but the old man is stubborn and can't change it anyway.

Secondly, children follow the elderly for a long time, and education may not keep up.

My baby has been learning three-character classics, Tang poetry and counting with his grandmother since childhood. When the child is young, he can't feel the gap. It was only after the children were three or four years old that they found that the children brought up by the elderly were different from those brought up by their parents.

On the one hand, "every generation of parents" is too good for children, which leads to poor overall self-care ability of children. My child can't use chopsticks at the age of four, and can't eat fruit by himself.

On the other hand, Grandma can only tell stories about wolves, Kong Rong tells stories about pears, or story machine tells stories about children. Nowadays, many classic picture books are foreign, and their way of thinking is different from traditional thinking, such as teaching children to accept themselves, protect themselves and have sex education.

Therefore, in education, parents still need to pay more attention, and no one can replace it.

Anyway, thank my mother-in-law for taking care of my children so hard. I also intend to take my children to my side as soon as possible, and it will be better for them to be educated and cared for by myself.
