In recent years, with the development of society, more and more elderly people choose to bring their grandchildren to enjoy the joy of family. However, this phenomenon has sparked heated discussions among citizens. It has been argued that the elderly with children can support the younger and strengthen family ties;Others believe that the elderly are prone to spoiling children, and that the education style is different from that of young people, and even the novice support program can lead to family conflicts. So, is it a family pleasure for the elderly to bring their grandchildren or a burden for young people?The positive view is that the elderly and children are a way to enjoy the joy of family. In a competitive modern society, young people are often too busy with work to take care of their children. And the elderly with children can not only reduce the burden on young people, but also provide them with appropriate financial support. Mr. Zhang, a citizen, said that young people's income is not high, and the elderly with children can appropriately sponsor young people. In addition, some young parents believe that the elderly can take care of their children with peace of mind, but young parents should compensate the elderly materially and spiritually.

However, the opposing view is that there are some problems with the elderly with children. First of all, the elderly are prone to spoil children, and there are differences in education methods from young people. Ms. Xie said that their family is an elderly person with children, and her son only followed her when he was 10 years old, and now she can't control her son at all, and she doesn't understand his son, so she can't communicate. She regretted that if she had the opportunity to choose again, she would definitely choose to take her son in person. Mr. Hu, a citizen, also said that the elderly are easy to spoil children, and children should not be "spoiled". Ms. Zhang, a citizen, recounted her personal experience that it was the difference between her and her parents-in-law in educating her children that eventually led to her divorce from her husband. In addition, some elderly people said that the elderly should have a plan for their old age, and they should not "retire without resting" and let taking children become a "shackle".

To sum up, the elderly have both positive sides and some problems. For young people, they should respect the choices of the elderly, and at the same time be aware of the problems that the elderly can bring with children. For the elderly, they should pay attention to the differences in education methods and avoid over-spoiling their children while enjoying the joy of family. Only by working together can family harmony and happiness be achieved.
