I'm still working, but I'm about to retire, so now I think about whether I would like to babysit my children when I retire. The answer is no, I don't want to go. This is mainly because:
I'm a person who prefers a living environment with fewer people. Giving children to see their children will inevitably lead to living in an environment with a large family population. There are so many people arguing all day that I feel very irritable, and I don't think I will be in a good mood. In this case, it will also affect the good relationship between us and our children and grandchildren, so it is better not to go.
It was hard for me to adapt to the unfamiliar environment. I'm a very slow person to adapt to the new environment, and sometimes when I go out to change relatives, I rush home. Because I can't sleep at night if I don't sleep in my own home.
I'm afraid of having a bad relationship with the juniors. Although I think I have a better temper and personality. But I'm not sure I'll get along well with my children and grandchildren. Rather than that, we might as well go our separate ways. Walk around each other during the New Year's holidays and be affectionate like relatives. If they are really in financial difficulty, I can help them. After all, I still have a certain salary, let them use this salary to hire a nanny outside, so that they can use the nanny easily, and our relationship can be maintained better.
I'm not the same as my juniors. It is often said that there is a generation gap between the old and the young, and I believe in this in particular. Because everyone has their own habits. All our living habits, the juniors are no longer used to it!Then it is estimated that there will be many contradictions when people with different living habits are put together.
In short, it's not that I don't care about my children, but they are all adults, I have worked hard all my life, and when I am old, I no longer want to be a free babysitter for my children and grandchildren, and I want to live my old age freely. If the children are in difficulty, I support them financially. But I won't live with them, let alone help them with their children.
