Earlier today.
I was thinking about how most children treat their parents.
- We take them for granted, they dont complaint.
- We complain so much, they try their best to give us everything.
- They love us unconditionally, yet we throw tantrums thinking that we are the
only ones who are drop dead tired after a long day of school/work.
- We get so fed up when they start to nag and when we were young, we ask so much questions abt the things we dont know.
- We pretend not to see their incoming calls or rather ignore their calls when they call, knowing that they'll wait up or just tell yourself "Pa/Ma's gonna sleep when they get tired of waiting"
- We compare them with other richer, better, modern parents, telling yourself "why can't i compare when they always compare me with relatives and friends?"
Not realizing that their comparison is to motivate us and in return, we demoralize them, blame them for not being rich" or "dress up like aunty, how to go parents meeting??? Friends sure laugh at me" and etc.
- They give and give, we take and take. Not giving back a tiny bit.
- You dont want them to nag, they stop. And when you make a mistake, you ask "why never tell me?"
Have we asked ourselves what kinda stupid question is that? We're just contradicting on our act.
- Protecting GFs n BFs whom you've just known for a couple of years when your parents start to nag that she would not be a good wife or husband in the future.
There are tons and tons of examples given.
We have our own perspectives, they have theirs too.
It does not mean that you have to listen to every bit of "advice" parents tell you to. What i'm trying to explain, is that, we should appreciate our parents before their gone. If you dont like certain things they nag about or ask you to do, talk nicely. There isn't a need to shout or scream back at them. And for some, when u disrespect ur parents, they whack the hell out of you. and you hate them for always whacking you. But do some reflection, if one hadn't scream back, would you get yourself whacked or lectured?
I'm just another teenage girl, i do things that other kids do.
But when i thought about it this afternoon, i promised myself i've to try to change for a better.
I had these thoughts running through my mind since afternoon.
Because I love Daddy to the maaaaaaaax.
Why?
I wanted a doggie and i got one(:
I appreciated all the things that he has done for the 3 of us, just to ensure we live comfortably and live in harmony.
Imagine buying 2 remote ctrl for the fan, so that i can place one on my side table and the other on the study table. "So that when you're lazy, you dont have to walk here and there"
My dad = World's greatest dad.
