Politics of Parenting
by Gloria Gamat on December 21, 2008
I am a single mom and eversince my son was a babyI have raised him with my Mother, his grandmother. Fast forward to today - 6 years later - lest to say that my son really is one big grandma's boy. Yup, he isn't a mama's boy but a grandma's boy!
It has many advantages of course, as my mother is always there to tend to his every little needs. She's practically the "nanny" who took care of him while I go to work. However, it could have disadvantages too. Like who is the real authority over the child, you the mother, or the grandma who is your mother too. A line has to be drawn somewhere and I tried my best to do that.
At the moment, my mother and I are working the balance of disciplining and spoiling. My son is now turning 6 in a few days and so far so good. It has worked for us so far, thankfully!
