There's lot written on children who don't take care of aged parents or how they misbehave etc etc. When movie Baghban came out all parents went ga ga over it. But today i would like to tell the story from children's perspective. What do we expect from parents and what annoy us. This is just based on my observation.

Parents love to talk abt their hardship, how in their times things were so difficult, how hard it was to raise kids, make ends meet. They don't had money for even medicine and their parents were poor too and they spent their entire life working hard for us kids and now times have changed. Everything is available to today's generation blah blah....but hey who said we don't have challenges in today's world. We just have diff kind of struggle. Your parents and grand parents had more hardships than u or me. With changing times, every generation will have different kind of challenge. We don't like to hear that we don't have any challenges, hardships today. Why don't you try to understand today's world? There's lot of competition, both gender need to learn all the things... not like older times where ladies just have to take care of home and men will work outside. Now both have to work outside, take care of home and so much more....no wonder people in their 20 and 30's are having heart attacks.

Comparison: This one gets on to our nerve. Don't ever compare us with other children. Everyone is different and everyone's life will take different path. Do we compare parents?

When things go wrong most of the parents will go "i told u so but u never listen". Instead of shouting, yelling or crying why don't you give some support. After all that's what family is for and let us learn from our mistakes and it's not end of the world.

Don't force your ideas or desires on us. We have our own dreams and kids are not to fulfill parent's dreams. If kids are interested then encourage them but if not leave them alone. If parents are doctors, children doesn't need to go to med school only.

Don't try to black mail us with age related diseases. It doesn't help anyone. We can take you to doctors,get your medicines but you will have to do rest. So take care of your health instead of cribbing abt it.

This post is not abt finding faults but with little understanding life will be easier for everyone. There's enough to deal outside and when we go home we don't wanna deal with more problems every single day. 




PS: Yes i do love my parents(incase anyone is wondering) inspite of some of above things they do. Today is my dad's Birthday and what a tribute!  Happy Birthday Dad !
