Bringing Up Kids

Star Q


Whoever said parenting is an easy job obviously has never been a parent before.  It is easier said than done for motivators to give advice to parents about how to raise children.  The advice given is usually based on your ordinary, stereotypical family which cannot be applied to other homes.  And we all know that each home is different from the other, in many ways.

Parents usually feel that they have done the best they can (me included) to give their children a good home, education and love.  But sometimes it is in a way condescending when children, one day when they are able to voice out their opinions, say that their homes are too small, they have not had enough opportunities for education and that their parents have not given enough love.

There comes a time when children feel that everything that their parents have done is no longer enough for them.  They sometimes articulate what they feel and forget to consider that that is all their parents could probably afford to give them.  They refuse to acknowledge that in bring up their children, their parents do so from experience and those of their own parents, without attending any kind of formal parenting classes.  They even forget to take responsibility for what they have said when their parents seem to be visibly hurt by the judgements they make.

Children must realise that parents will do everything in their power for their children, come rain or shine.  Some children take a long time to realise this.  Unfortunately, some never do.

After Two Years.....

Can't believe that I have been too busy to write that I have actually left this blog untouched for two long years.  A lot of thing...
