Relationships with relatives on one side only should seem simple and clear. Sometimes it is here that so many questions arise that it is difficult to imagine.
The most “interesting” thing begins when children appear in a young family, and after them grandmothers who know everything, and sometimes even more.
This is how situations arise when parents should not tell their children what they think about their grandmother.
Family discord
There is no need to bring it to the child that the parents and his grandmother do not have an ideal relationship. Usually in such cases they say that "grandmother does not love dad and mom."
It is better to start solving this issue with the grandmother, who will probably be happy to improve the relationship herself. Therefore, there is no need to involve the child in the topic of family troubles.
Pampering and discipline
Views on these concepts have always been different for all generations. It is logical that grandmothers spoil their grandchildren, and parents discipline their children.
But research shows that there is nothing wrong with such different models of raising a child. At the very least, the child is introduced to different norms of behavior, and this is experience that will come in handy.
Gifts and valuables
Grandma might not have given the most beautiful doll or model car. But this is no reason to devalue her gifts, let alone throw them away.
In any case, the children are happy with the gifts, and the grandmother tried and chose it with all her heart, in order to please her grandson, and not anger his parents.
Habits and behavior
Young parents are used to explaining some of their grandmother's habits or forgetfulness by old age. But here it is important to think about how the child will then treat his aging parents in the future?
