Grandmothers and the kids
Good evening or day motherhood I hope you're having a wonderful day I hope I'm not to late to pop in another post for the weekly challenge. I saw the first one for grandmothers when I wrote my blog about healthy eating and manners and had to also write one about grandmothers!
Oh man how special are they, I really felt that pre covid they did most the child raising while my wife and I ran off to work each day to make money to pay the bills. Parents miss out on the everyday due to work life commitments which is why I'm quite happy with work from home and isolation. I get to spend extra time with the kids. Well time maybe not so much but I get to see them where before I didn't as when I woke for work than returned the kids would be asleep and I'd have to wait until the weekend to spend some quality time with them.
I'm fortunate enough to still have my nonna (grandmother) still with me unfortunately due to COVID we can't see her but she has got to meet both my kids even if for a few times in-between lock downs and out breaks.
I believe grandmothers are one of the most important and influential people in a child's life. Not only are they the Matriarch of the family but they provide such wisdom and knowledge to be passed down to the next generation.
Grandmothers are that lived experience that have survived it all and they ain't mucking about. But they are also kind, compassionate and the rock of most families.
Before lockdown my mum would come around quite often and cook with my little one. Unfortunately my mum can't out cook me because I learned from her mum my nonna. 🤣 my nonna used to always say I was the only one out of the entire family that took on the traditional Italian side of things.
Thats because I spent most my life with my nonna and she taught me everything I know. The moments I shared with her I now share with my little ones. I didn't have a father figure growing up but I certainly had a strong nonna that was there and taught me a hell of alot!.
My mother inlaw resides with us and through lock down she has still been full on with the kids and helping out heaps. Without her neither my partner or I would be able to work. I think this is a common thing in most western families.
I prefer the warm embrace and support from grandmother rather than a day care centre which doesn't always enable kids to grow and provide the same form of nurturing. We are very lucky to be able to rely on our mothers for help.
Nothing better than the Matriarch to help raise the kids and build a strong family foundation built on love and fun.
Thank you to all the grandmothers out there!
All that is wonderful it is good to have grandmother, have a Grandma with you it's help you a lot.
Because they will help to watch over the children and take care of them as they take care of you when you are young.
Most of grandmother the love to see there grandson and granddaughter and they love to be around them.
When husband and wife are working to provide for the family and take care of the children, grandmother normally help to take care of the children when the husband and wife are not at home.
And believing this grandmother's has been a wonderful people sometimes things that you did not even send them they will do it for you before you come back.
Because the love they have for us when we are small is still with them till when they become a grandma.
When you have a grandma with you are you go to work you will have rest of mind that your children are secure and it will help you to save the money is supposed to use for Nanny you take care of your children and the grandma are herself.
And whenever they are with us we should try all our possible best to take care of them.
Because they don't like stay alone or without having anybody with them and it is good that they are with you people because you will also monitor them and give them the proper care.
Wow the truth of the matter is that grandmother is very very very doing well when it comes to taking care of little baby in fact I pity those people that doesn't have grandmother because when they give birth a lot of issue come up and they begin to look for somebody to take care of their children
In fact I would like to say that is good to have a grandmother grandmother are very useful I can see how some normally said that is not good what you put your kids with those grandmother because they spoil them is not because of that but they love they have for those children are very much efficient
As for me I don't have the plans of putting my children with my grandmother especially if she's very old as you can see little children are being trained at the tender age and when you keep their windows grandmother that is this tendency that they might not be able to hear what all they will not be able to listen to instruction from those grandmother
How about some grandmother are very tough and discipline some are even good than the mother they are safe and make sure that they take good care of their children so that tomorrow will be useful for them some of the children learn a lot from their grandmother due to the wisdom and experience they have again
As it is said you might have new clothes more than everyone but you can never have old clothes like them because they have used a lot of clothes when we are still small would like to listen to a lot of stories from her grandmother because these are the experience is gained as nice as it is normally said experience is the best teacher

Vaya, la verdad del asunto es que a la abuela le va muy, muy bien a la hora de cuidar al bebé, de hecho, me da lástima la gente que no tiene abuela porque cuando dan a luz surgen muchos problemas y empiezan. buscar a alguien que cuide a sus hijos De hecho me gustaría decir que es bueno tener una abuela abuela son muy útiles puedo ver como algunos normalmente decían que no es bueno lo que le pones a tus hijos con esas abuelas porque los miman no es por eso sino que los aman. tener para esos niños son muy eficientes En cuanto a mí, no tengo planes de poner a mis hijos con mi abuela, especialmente si ella es muy mayor, como pueden ver, los niños pequeños están siendo entrenados en la tierna edad y cuando se queda con las ventanas, abuela, esa es la tendencia que puede que no. poder escuchar lo que todos ellos no podrán escuchar las instrucciones de esa abuela ¿Qué tal si algunas abuelas son muy duras y disciplina algunas son incluso buenas que la madre? Están a salvo y se aseguran de cuidar bien a sus hijos para que mañana les sea útil. Algunos de los niños aprenden mucho de su abuela debido a la sabiduría y la experiencia que tienen de nuevo Como se dice, es posible que tengas ropa nueva más que todos, pero nunca puedes tener ropa vieja como ellos porque han usado mucha ropa cuando aún somos pequeños me gustaría escuchar muchas historias de su abuela porque estas son las La experiencia se adquiere tan bien como normalmente se dice que la experiencia es el mejor maestro.

Nossa, a verdade da questão é que a avó está indo muito, muito bem quando se trata de cuidar do bebezinho, na verdade eu tenho pena dessas pessoas que não têm avó porque quando dão à luz surge um monte de problema e eles começam procurar alguém para cuidar de seus filhos Na verdade eu gostaria de dizer que é bom ter uma avó avó são muito úteis eu posso ver como alguns normalmente diziam que não é bom o que você coloca seus filhos com aquela avó porque eles estragam eles não é por causa disso mas eles os amam tem para essas crianças são muito eficientes Quanto a mim, não tenho planos de colocar meus filhos com a minha avó, especialmente se ela for muito velha, como você pode ver as crianças pequenas estão sendo treinadas desde a mais tenra idade e quando você mantém suas janelas, avó, essa tendência é que eles podem não ser capaz de ouvir o que todos eles não serão capazes de ouvir a instrução daquela avó Que tal algumas avós são muito duras e disciplinadoras, algumas são até boas do que a mãe, elas estão seguras e asseguram-se de que cuidam bem de seus filhos para que amanhã seja útil para elas algumas das crianças aprendam muito com sua avó devido a a sabedoria e experiência que eles têm novamente Como se costuma dizer, você pode ter roupas novas mais do que todo mundo, mas nunca pode ter roupas velhas como essas porque usaram muitas roupas quando ainda éramos pequenos gostaria de ouvir muitas histórias da avó dela porque essas são as a experiência é adquirida tão bem quanto normalmente se diz que a experiência é o melhor professor
Wow thank you, such a great comment and yes it's true. It's great having someone to trust to help raise your children. Families are the most important thing in this world.
Thank you for stopping by
You know @melbourneswest , I think you are a great father, from the first time I saw one of your posts and invited you to this community I knew it hehe. And you are very fortunate to have your grandmother and all those wonderful women who help you and your wife.
I was not lucky enough to live or grow up with my grandmothers, as my family were migrants and I grew up far away from them, I never got to see one alive and the other I met on her deathbed. So wow, how lucky you are and so are your children, enjoy it to the fullest whenever possible.
Thank you, I try my best. Sometimes I don't know if I'm doing the right thing or a good thing. Sometimes I wonder do I work too much and not spend enough time with the kids.
This past year and a half has been really hard both emotionally and testing as a parent. But I'm just glad that I have such a beautiful family to spend it with.
The greatest success a man can have is his family. Sometimes we find it difficult to find the time to spend with our children, because work occupies us and unfortunately we need to work, but you will always be a good dad if when you are with them you invest quality time and give them your love and care.
