No hab\u00eda nadie m\u00e1s all\u00ed, por lo que sus voces se o\u00edan claramente por toda la habitaci\u00f3n. La abuela estaba ayudando a la ni\u00f1a a probarse la ropa mientras la mam\u00e1 iba y ven\u00eda, llev\u00e1ndole ropa para que ella se la probara. Cada vez que la mam\u00e1 se iba, la abuela dec\u00eda cosas como \u201capur\u00e9monos para que mam\u00e1 no se enoje\u201d. O: \"Estoy muy orgullosa de ti por probarte tantas cosas\". Y luego prometi\u00f3 llevarla a tomar un helado cuando terminaran, lo que se convirti\u00f3 en todo un esc\u00e1ndalo cuando mam\u00e1 se enter\u00f3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Esto me hizo pensar en el papel de los abuelos en la vida de nuestros hijos y la de sus hijos. Digo \u201csus hijos\u201d de manera bastante intencional, porque ellos son sus hijos primero. Si eres abuelo\/a o lo ser\u00e1s pronto, perm\u00edteme compartirte tres cosas que he aprendido hasta ahora como abuela de una ni\u00f1a de 12 y otra de 10 a\u00f1os.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1. I had my turn<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tenemos seis hijos. Y aunque tuvimos nuestros desaf\u00edos, \u00a1fue un placer criarlos! Me encantaba estar con ellos. \u00a1Todav\u00eda me encanta! Tuve mi turno de darles lo mejor de m\u00ed. A trav\u00e9s de golpes y errores, aprend\u00ed a mejorar, aunque nunca alcanc\u00e9 la perfecci\u00f3n que desear\u00eda tener. A menos que haya alg\u00fan abuso grave en el que el DCFS deba involucrarse, debemos recordar que tuvimos nuestro turno y ahora es el de ellos. Ellos tambi\u00e9n aprender\u00e1n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2. Estoy aqu\u00ed para apoyar, no para reemplazar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cuando mi hijo y mi nuera dejan a sus hijas conmigo y me dicen: \"No pueden comer esto o, por favor, no les dejen hacer tal o cual cosa\", mi respuesta es: \"Sus hijos, sus reglas\". Creo firmemente que estoy aqu\u00ed para apoyarlos en su crianza, no para insertar mis ideas. Si tengo una opini\u00f3n sobre algo, se la dir\u00e9 a los padres, no a las ni\u00f1as. Pero para que eso suceda, necesito tener una relaci\u00f3n con sus padres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3. Relaci\u00f3n, Relaci\u00f3n, Relaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tengo la bendici\u00f3n de tener una excelente relaci\u00f3n con mi hijo y mi nuera. Llevan mucho tiempo casados \u200b\u200by amo a mi nuera como si fuera m\u00ed hija. Ambas hemos trabajado duro para tener una gran relaci\u00f3n, y la verdad que es necesario mantener una relaci\u00f3n con nuestros hijos si es que queremos tener influencia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Estoy muy agradecida de tener a mis nietas cerca y me encanta pasar tiempo con ellas. No lo doy por sentado y agradezco tener la confianza de sus padres y un respeto mutuo.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was in a fitting room the other day and witnessed an interesting scenario; a grandmother, her daughter and the granddaughter, three stalls down from me.
