Relaţiile dintre părinţi şi copii în familia regală Ferdinand şi Maria - principesele Elisabeta şi Mărioara

  • Subiect: „Family relationships of the royal family represent an important part in its history, if we take into consideration the influence parents had in their children's' upbringing and education. However, just as interesting an is the children's response to their parents' interferences in their coming of age. At the beginning of the 20th century in the West, particularly in the 20s, relations between parents and children had changed dramatically. Even wealthy parents (including princely and royal families) were careful nat to spoil their children excessively. Discipline was strict and children's' character had to be tamed and formed, crying was forbidden. The authority of parents over their children cannot be questioned: offspring's had little rights in their private life. Their spare time belonged to their parents, who imposed different chores and activities, their friendships were strictly looked at and connections with outside family members were scrutinized and even discouraged. And parental authority went further alsa to the children's' private lives. To take one example, marriage was a family issue and depended directly an the parental wishes, particularly when the family wealth was as stake. In all social environments marriage was synonymous to the emancipation of children from the authority of parents. And yet, in some cases, parental control was still strong, especially if the newlyweds were still living with their parents. For this authority to loosen and for private life to become a natural connection between people, the institution of the family had to become less rigorous. Children need constant attention, from birth to marriage. They are the product of two ascendancies and traditions, coming from each of the parents. Since princess/queen Maria had been herself an independent, somewhat undisciplined character in her youth, with a far from solid education (she completed it with time) the education of her children had some shortcomings, later to be seen in their actions.”
