blestrella To explain further, the pronoun YOU can be used to represent only one person YOU (singular) and many persons YOU (plural). Therefore, since the question is "how many... " this pertains to the YOU (plural). I hope this clarifies.

blestrella Thank you for sharing, StevenZhu. It's the same in our country nowadays. Many parents take care of grandchildren because both their children and children-in-law have to work.

blestrella Thanks, bellis716. It would be very nice to reminisce those moments of togetherness of generations in the family. It is a blessing that not everyone has.

blestrella Thanks for your reply. It seems to me that more people from earlier generations could reach 90 to 100 years. That could be a reason why they were more likely to see their great grandchildren. Nowadays, it seems that people die younger. My mother died at the...

blestrella You have a good self control. That is very nice. Anger is a normal emotion. You are right that it is not good to keep it. Thanks for your response.

blestrella You are right, lizbenetua. Parenting is hard. Disciplining children must be borne out of love. Alhough I spanked my children, those instances were seldom. I only saw to it that they learned. And we can see if we succeeded when our children are grown ups....
