Forums > Living in Kunming > Pros and Cons of Grandparents
many of my friends were raised by grandparents due to having two working parents. Now in our 20's, we appreciate that time with our grandparents, whatever wisdom/cultural gems we gleamed, more than ever.
Yes there are culture clashes, yes its tough for the parents to have THEIR parents around, but having the chance to bond with grandparents is a luxury not everyone has, and should be cherished.
PLUS, huge pro - having three factions in the household (parents, grandparents, child) leads to easier conflict resolution... because someone always mediates. UNLESS every one is mad at the kid. Then he/she must've really done something wrong and deserved it ;)
