Grandparents - Burden Or Blessing

It's a very debatable topic if they are a blessing or a burden. Definitely, I'll go with blessing. Kids these days are more attached to their grandparents more than their parents. They can share their life secrets and play with them with more comforts. Many writers have shared a strong bond with their grandparents areshown by their writings.

Grandparents play a very important role in our life they act as our protector and ensure that we remain safe while the time under their shower of blessings. They provide us with the best guidance which is necessary for a youngster who easily gets distracted from other people. Grandparents act as the backbone of our family. They are the ones who always remain with the child even when their parents aren't available due to their busy schedules. Some people take them as a burden as they need care likes a small baby but don't forget they were also always available to you when you weren't able to take care of yourself. And if such a time came to them you should not step back. The tales which they tell give lifelong lessons to us. They provide us with a lot of social values and lessons which remain with us for our life further. Sometimes you have to face agony and pain, and they are the ones with you which helped you to soothe yourself. Some families don't provide proper respect to their elderly members which are seriously very bad thing. We should treat them with the best we have. Their presence in the family gives a human sense that may have lacked otherwise.

I would definitely conclude that if a child is raised under their guidance that child will have more respects for elders automatically. With nuclear families becoming popular, many children have to stay away from grandchildren and can’t spend much time every day or their routine with them. But we should try that a child spends most of his time with them to have a gentleman personality.

As the generation gap exists both the grandchildren and grandparents should understand that gap.
