My husband and I have long decided that whatever decision we make for our children is ours to make. After all they are our kids not our parents' kids. We do listen to their opinions but in the end it is up to us to finalize our decision. Most of the time we went against their ways 'cos it didn't benefit us (the parents). Look at it this way, if the kids have to wake up early in the morning, it is us (the parents) who have to prepare them for school. The grandparents will not be around to help. It is the consequences we are willing to take. But in this world of both working parents, sometimes we really have no choice. Like you said, kids adapt well. <br><br>And, yes, there will be endless "see, i told you so..." nags from the older generation. We learned to suck up and just listen one ear in and one ear out. From our experience, Belle adapted so well in the daycare/preschool that after 2 years, the older folks began to see the benefit. Belle is such a social butterfly and they are so proud of her now. Now, we get to say, "see, didn't we tell you so..." :D<br><br>Just my 2 cents. :)Vienhttp://www.lotsacheeks.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8441791497885568497.post-33448969065034707232008-07-25T01:50:00.000-07:002008-07-25T01:50:00.000-07:00Vien - thanks so much for the advice and sharing. ...Vien - thanks so much for the advice and sharing. I totally agree with you that the final decision is ours to make. Sometimes, dealing with in-laws are slightly more challenging :p (headache)Mommyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01326718604311231966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8441791497885568497.post-43336772492358780832008-08-14T20:06:00.000-07:002008-08-14T20:06:00.000-07:00Usually older generation cannot accept the fact th...Usually older generation cannot accept the fact that we are sending our little one to school. <br><br>But, i tell you, later, when they see the grandschildren's progress after going to school, they will feel proud and forget that they actually objected the decision of sending the little one to school.<br><br>So, we as the parents, just do whatever we feel it's right for our kids!
