Leopold Abbey He has always stood out as an illustrious economist, but now he uncovers himself with this book of a more familiar and even social nature, as is the subject of work-life balance.
The grandparents and their new role as employees of the most assisted nursery. An undeniable reality that is very interesting to address. But reality has its edges, and with a humorous tone, the good old Leopoldo puts the points on the ies in this book Grandparents on the verge of a grandchildren attack.
Because grandparents do not always have the appropriate health, nor the vitality necessary to adjust to the rhythm of the small offspring of their own children, nor do they have to assume the obligation of a second degree contract.
But in most cases they are always there. Because love can do everything, and although at the end of the day they feel that each of the bones of their body is on the verge of dislocation, while mental fatigue finally finds a time of calm. the grandparents will be thoroughly employed with those little new heirs of their love and affection.
It is not about finding exact guidelines to follow to achieve a total adjustment in the notorious generational leap, nor to soften the fit of the custom of some and other natural and occasional tutors, what this book provides is rather the lucidity of the example, the humor to cope with the matter and some safe advice towards that easier coexistence.
Grandparents assume their role as caregivers but not always suspicious educators. This tendency to give in to the whim is not something always negative or reprehensible. The figure of the grandparents has been a bit like that since ancient times. The overload of references and guidelines towards a perfect education leads parents to think that they should prolong their iron hand once they deliver their children to their grandparents. Relaxing that idea is a good starting point. Some figures represent one thing and others another. It is not a plan to intensely indoctrinate those who tried to educate you at the time, with more or less success.
A good grandfather is not the reflection of what he imagines the parent to be, the good grandfather begins to demonstrate it by the mere fact of taking care of those little ones in our homes. It is true that there are always extremes to comment on and in which parental authority must prevail. But considering everything they do for you, the most you can do is thank them.
