We
all have those moments when we really annoy our parents and almost make them
lose faith in us. Sometimes we may not do it intentionally, unaware of the
consequences that will befall our actions. In one way or another, God made us
have that special connection with our parents. We may be connected by blood but
the events we go through in life with our parents strengthens the bond. However
much a relationship with a parent may not be that good, the love still exists.
There
are children that have been abandoned by their biological parents but when they
grow up and eventually meet their parents, they still have that love. Obviously
at first sight you will feel a lot of hatred and range for that parent who
abandoned you. As children we drive our parents crazy with all the outrageous
things we do. But it is simple, we are all from different generations and each
generation has its norms. Most times our parents fail to understand why we do
some things and most times the answer is simple “peer pressure”.
Most
people succumb to the pressure from peers and easily indulge in whatever
activity they are being introduced to. Most of us want to be considered as cool
and updated so we easily succumb to pressure from peers. That is the main
reason why when our parents criticize us for what we do, we call them “outdated”.
But in actual sense they are not “outdated”, they are older than us and have
further experience. They see further than we do and fear for the consequences
to befall us “their beloved children”.
There
comes a moment in life when you have wronged your parents so much that they
have completely given up on you. But it is still their obligation to take care
of you, sometimes the love may disappear but they have that God given
obligation to look after their children. We can not blame our parents for
behaving the way they do, sometimes they really do not know what to do with us.
They are human beings like us and have feelings. Every parent’s constant worry
is the welfare of their children however old you may be. So please do not take
your parents love for you for granted because in the end they are all you
really have.
