Grandparents play an influential part in a grandchild's life. While grandparents provide a watchful eye to the grandchildren, they are not necessarily “the enemy” to the grandchildren, it is usually the mother. Most grandchildren look up to their grandparents as they greatly influence the grandchild's view of life. This is most especially enhanced through personal interactions of the grandparent and the grandchild. This contact makes the grandchild more adapt to facing the reality of growing old and influences the grandchild to becoming more caring and understanding individuals. These contacts enhances the family bond and family connections.
Having grandchildren can be very rewarding to the grandparents. People even humor others and suggest that more parents look forward to being a grandparent than being a parent.
A Welsh proverb says:
“Perfect love sometimes does not come until grandchildren are born”
Maybe they are right. Because having grandchildren is a testament that your sons or daughters can finally understand what you have been through. And with understanding comes compassion and respect.
