A mother shared on the Internet that the baby food she carefully prepared was finally eaten up by the elders, making the child unable to enjoy it, which caused heated discussions among netizens. It's a small thing, but it's not a small thing. The incident started with a mother sharing online that she recently spent an afternoon making a nutritious soup for toddlers to use as a supplementary food.
But when she took out the food and prepared it for the child to eat, she found that the food had been destroyed by the grandparents, and the child had not eaten even a little, which made her very angry and disappointed. This video became popular for a while, and netizens left messages to discuss the matter. Some netizens thought that Bao's mother overreacted, and it didn't hurt for the elders to eat it, and accused her of not preparing one for the elders in advance.
However, some netizens believe that infant food usually does not pay attention to taste, mainly for nutrition, and the elders can take it themselves, and they can't rob up the food of young children. Some netizens gave their own similar experiences, so that more people could experience the unhappiness of being "robbed" by their elders. So as elders, should we respect the needs of young children?
Excessive "cutting off beards" by elders will undoubtedly affect children's nutritional intake. It also exposes the power dislocation that may exist within the family. Some elders may take advantage of their age to interfere too much in the family affairs of their offspring and ignore the importance of mutual respect. Values and habits from different generations are also revealed.
The younger generation places more importance on personal and future interests, and the elders may be accustomed to being overly egosive. There is a need for greater communication and compromise between generations, rather than ignoring the feelings of other members. A healthy family requires each member to respect each other and be considerate of each other, and the elders should be role models for future generations and impart good family ethics.
Of course, we can't attack or convict any party. People will judge differently in different contexts. But through communication and change, we believe that we can solve similar problems and build a harmonious home. Only through mutual understanding and tolerance can families achieve long-term peace and stability. So, how do you build a respectful relationship between the elders and the offspring in the family?
Elders should not take the "food" of their children indiscriminately, nor should they interfere too much in the household affairs of their offspring, which will affect the growth and self-reliance of their offspring. At the same time, the offspring should not be too agitated in this situation, and should calmly understand the mentality of the elders and explain their position through easy-going communication.
If the elders still do not understand, the descendants also need to learn to compromise to avoid incurring greater misunderstandings and conflicts. By changing ourselves, we can also influence others. If the elders can understand the position of the offspring and respect their needs, and the offspring can be more tolerant and considerate of the elders, then the family will get along more harmoniously.
As long as everyone faces the problem with sincerity and discernment, I believe that through continuous communication, any differences can be resolved. Building a harmonious home together is what we should do.
