Grandparents and Grandchildren

It is reported that about 70% of peoplewill leave their children to their parents to raise because they are so busywith their work and have no time to take care of their children, that is,grandparents take the responsibility to raise grandchildren. This phenomenonhas caused lots of disputes because some people think children living withgrandparents will develop egotism. In my opinion, leaving children to theirgrandparents has more disadvantages than advantages. Reasons are listed below.

據調查，大約有70%的人會把他們的孩子送給孩子的祖父母，因為他們太忙了，不能照顧孩子。意即，祖父母承擔起撫養孫子們的責任。這種現象引來了很多爭議。一些人認為與祖父母呆一起的孩子們往往會養成以自我為中心的壞習慣。在我看來，把孩子們送給祖父母撫養確實弊大于利。原因如下：

Firstly, grandparents tend to spoilchildren. Grandparents will satisfy all the requirements of their grandchildrenbecause they are too love their grandchildren to turn their grandchildren down.So children will get whatever they want and if not, they would be bad tempered.

首先，祖父母會把小孩兒寵壞。祖父母總是會滿足他們的孫子們的所有要求，因為他們太疼愛孫兒們所以不忍心拒絕孫兒們的要求。因此，孫子們總是能得到他們想要的東西，如果得不到的話，他們會脾氣暴躁。

Secondly, staying with grandparents,children will easily develop egotism. As grandparents would do everythingaround their grandchildren’s need, gradually, those children will believe thatno people would against their wills and abide by their words and ask others todo what they want and don’t think about other people’s feelings.

其次，與祖父母呆一起的孩子們往往很容易變得自我為中心。祖父母總會以孫兒們的需求為中心，漸漸地，孩子們會想當然地以為沒有人會違背自己的意愿，而是會聽從自己。因此，他們會讓別人做他們想做的事情，并不考慮其他人的感受。

In conclusion, it isn’t good for ourchildren to stay with their grandparents for grandparents will spoil childrenwhich make children bad tempered. Besides, it may be inevitable for children todevelop egotism by staying with their grandparents. For the long run, parentsshould raise their children themselves and teach them in a good way.

總之，讓小孩兒跟祖父母呆一起并不好。祖父母的溺愛會讓他們的脾氣變得很不好。另外，小孩兒也會變得自我為中心。為了長遠考慮，父母應該自己照顧并好好教育自己的小孩兒。
