The family also accepts us and loves us no matter what happens, therefore, it does not hurt to be grateful for everything we do as a family for each other.
When parents talk about & 39; elderly matters & 39; At home, we tend to be discreet in conversations, to prevent our children from hearing something that is not suitable for their age or something that they may misinterpret, but in family or social gatherings, driven by the enthusiasm of the moment, we neglect ourselves a little more and we don't realize that children hear everything.

Day-to-day stress, early morning tiredness, our own self-demand ... And suddenly, your son starts crying inconsolably, he ignores you in one of the things you have asked him, he does not want to eat the dinner ... and you end up yelling at him.
