Wow! They so love her! Look at their tenderness and big smiles.
Not every grandparent loves grandchildren, let alone chooses to spend much time and energy taking care of them. But obviously they love and they are so willing. And therefore, in this case, their son having a baby is atually a mutually beneficial thing for both generations.
When my father was young and got married, he might not get ready to be a father from the bottom of his heart, but as time went by, he became better and better at that and at some point, he liked taking care of kids even others' kids. He was very willing to spend his time, energy and money making kids happy. Interesting! That's why when his grandson was born, he was already a loving and qualified caretaker of babies and kids.
So they make a perfect duo. There is not much stuff like heavy responsibilities or sacrifices, for the baby is just enjoying her life and receiving tender care from adults, while adults get happier because of observing her cute face, hearing her giggles, holding her in their arms, talking to her and willingly feeding her, bathing her and making her as comfortable as possible.
This is what I like. I help you, serve you, or offer something good to you of my own volition, BECAUSE I like to, I love doing this, this makes me happy, this is meaningful to me...
Of course, this would not be all perfect. When sometimes, they get tired, or feel bad because of this or that, they may say, "I sacrifice so much, I..." But all this comes from their temporary emotions, not worth taking it too serious, for both parts. And then you will notice, some time later, they would be again, eagerly waiting for her coming and eagerly wanting to take care of her.
I like milking family loveliness:
Till this day, still, I am the daughter of my parents who want to take care of me in certain ways. My mother would deliberately buy beef and cook for me. When there is mostly pork on the table, she would cook scrambled egg for me because I love it. Obviously they care about my wellbeing and wellness, and so they may nag when I eat instant noodles instead of formal meals. And I can accept that and still eat what I choose in a more hidden way or just shrug off their nagging, knowing and understanding their well meanings.
My parents have been demonstrating such patience these years. They just want to soothe the babies when they cry and they wouldn't get annoyed because they keep crying. They willingly cook what we like eating and knowing our eating preferences.
They support each other and have been doing things together. My father drives my mother to work. My father washes vegetables and sets the table while my mother cooks. They take turns to care for the baby. They share with each other what happened during the daytime when they eat supper together.
I am now used to their coming to me and asking me to buy something online for them. I get better and better at managing my time, focus and emotions, so most of the time, I just stop what I am doing and offer them that favor immediately and efficiently, and then go back to do what is left, lightheartedly.
