SheIs-Your Beloved Grandmother!
In this hectic and competitive life, blessed are the families which are still joint and not nuclear. Joint families are boon as keeping the recent times in mind where both parents are working and children are usually left under the supervision of their grandparents. In both the grandparents itâs the grandmother who usually becomes the second mother for the child and is lovingly addressed as dadima, granny or amma or baa. No matter what she is called her love and responsibility cannot be restricted and overlooked. As a mother her child is her world and as grandmothers she usually makes her grandchildren her world. As the saying goes interest is more treasured than the principal itself.
Grandmother is one person who never let her age be the barrier in taking care of her child. SheIs upright yet soft, she is strict yet understanding and she is responsible for pampering yet making sure of not spoiling the child. She is one upon who the child looks up with lots of expectation and her experience can never let her/him down. Children if in nuclear families look forward to their vacation so that they can spend some quality time with their paternal or maternal grandmother. The time spent either throughout the year or vacation is crucial as it leaves behind some long lasting positive impressions for lifetime.
All the stories from raja-rani to chor-sipahi are well articulated and remembered by her. She is the constant source of help, guidance and strength for the rest of the family. Usually children get more attached to their grandparent because of their love and their acceptance of everything about them (children). She is continuously in active mode for the betterment of the family. She is all their for the family, her children and all what she needs is acceptance, love and time.
Time is one element which children and grandchildren are usually unable to give when grown up. There is a tendency in many individuals to neglect or get annoyed with their either of grandparents or both due to the luggage of the exterior world. So when back from work if the mother demands time or grandmother asks for few words then they are met with only refusal and negligence. It should be borne in mind that mothers and grandmothers will never complain or sulk but somewhere their heart will cry not because they gave you time but because they are missing the time they had spent with you in the past.
