Parents
RexTEC (China) : I’d like to take care of my child by myself, but the reality is that my wife and I have to work in another city which is far away from our hometown. We have to leave our child in the hometown with my parents before we have the ability to move our baby and parents to the city. I think most young couples who are working far away from home face a similar predicament.
RAJEE (India) : Grandparents are indeed an important part of a growing child’s life. But in my case they are so indulgent that it can really get very annoying. I am unable to discipline my daughter and inculcate good habits as they indulge her every whim and it is to them that she runs when she gets in trouble.
Grandparents
Austin (the UK) : As a grandparent in the UK of four, ages 12, 9, 8 and 4, I can say that a fairly high percent of grandparents that have close contact with their own children do take steps to "day sit" their grandchildren while their own children go to work. My children, two girls, live very close to me, both living on the same street. We do look after children very often, because both my girls work in our business so we all pull together as and when needed.
ROGERINCA (the US) : I think that whenever possible a child should be raised by his or her parents. This is what is most natural and what is best for the child. Taking me myself as an example, with advancing age I find I am not having enough energy or able to physically do all the things to my grandson that younger parents are able to do with their child.
Experts
Wyldsyde (Australia) : Grandparents raised their children and should not be the everyday parents of their grandchildren. Raising children is the parents’ job. I see people all too often dumping their children off on other people for no other reason than they want to go partying or for other reasons. You had the kids, now raise them. If it means that one of you works nights while the other works days then so be it. Stop pushing your duties off on other people.
Bex ( China) : It is not a good phenomenon that grandparents look after grandchildren. Grandparents have been working all their lives so they deserve a break. Most importantly, the parents should take more responsibilities of their own children. If you decide to have a kid, you’d better be capable to look after him or her.
SharkMinnow (Canada) : In Canada, children are not brought up by their grandparents. Young adults are taught to be independent and take care of their own kids. Grandparents can visit, but they do not live in the house or raise the children. If young people in Canada are not independent, financially stable to have children, then they are discouraged from doing so. Many Westerners think Chinese are immature and spoil this way in the fact that they just have their parents raise their kids.

答案
Should Children Be Brought up by Their Grandparents? With working and financial pressure getting increasingly intense, more and more young parents are leaving their children to grandparents. This topic has aroused a hot discussion from different aspects. For some parents, it is a painful choice to leave the baby to grandparents living in another city, when both of them have to work and can’t afford a large house to move them to the city where they work in. But the negative point is that grandparents might be over-protective and indulgent to their grandchildren. Surprisingly, some grandparents in the West also take certain steps to help their own children if needed. But they claim that they do not have enough physical energy to give their grandchildren high quality companion. As to this topic, experts say that parents should take the responsibility of raising their own children for no reason. They are not encouraged to have one if conditions do not allow. For the sake of children’s healthy growth, I would advise children to be raised by their own parents instead of being dumped at grandparents’ home. First, parents’ roles are irreplaceable. Parents and children’s isolation in childhood may cause irreversible hurts in children’s hearts. They may suffer throughout their life the sense of insecurity, which grandparents’ love cannot mend up. Second, long-term separation does harm to the physical and mental growth of children. A study shows that children who grow up without parents’ companion are more likely to suffer from health problems and mental disability compared with those who live with parents. Third, retirement is a time for grandparents to sit back, relax and enjoy life. They do not have the obligation to act as full-time parents to their children’s children and to experience all the highs and lows of child rearing for another time around. Therefore, I don’t suggest leaving children to be brought up by grandparents. Young people must be considerate before they are going to have children and responsible after they have children. For children, nothing is more precious than parents’ love and companion.
