My grandmother used to just sit, watch us and "kvell." She must have been a silent "kveller." At least that's what I've always thought she was doing when she was observing us. There was a happy look on her face.
What's "kvelling?" "Kvell" is a joy/happiness/satisfaction. Some people do it outloud. I don't come from a family which praises or compliments. Nobody spoiled us either. My daughter expects me to spoil the kids more, not be strict, not be a faux mother.
So, yesterday, when the girls insisted on watching TV, I just let them, even though my daughter doesn't like them to watch.
