Will this ever end? Especially when there are three generations under the same roof!
You need to be strict, the grandparents agree, and then undo the strictness by indulging.
Our system of mugging tables was best, says grandfather, unable to relate to the Montessori system. What system is this that doesn't help child keep numbers at finger tips? How can they complain about the child that she doesn't know? - he asks incensed. Try telling him that they are not complaining about her lack of knowledge but lack of application.
Are they eating well, they ask with concern about the children. And then promptly buy all the junk food they love.
Go go, get ready/go to bed, they send the children, and then sit back listening to their tall tales.
They may be at variance on some points, but who cannot help smiling when the child runs to the grandparent to share the tales, enjoy the stories they tell and bite into the goodies they bring? There is much more noise at any point of the day, there is much more life.
