Missed Opportunity - Are my parents to Blame?
Parent's have undying love for their babies which grows stronger
and stronger each and every day.
The infancy months where four hourly feeds are followed by the
hand aching task of burping baby. Dribbles of milk flow through
your fingers as the infant rests his/her weary scrunched up face
in the palm of your hand fighting off the land of nod. What is
baby thinking? As he/she loses the battle to stay awake.
Then we have the nightmare months of the toddler years where
mum and dad need eyes in the back of their heads. It is at this
time we teach the toddler to walk/talk, and when they do we tell
them to shut up and sit down. It only takes a second for baby to
scale the stairs, and then it is panic stations while you
negotiate and try to convince the child to stay put till you
manage to reach out for them. What a relief when you have them
safe in your arms smothering them with affection while you
chastise them. What is the child thinking? Being loved and
shouted at, at the same time.
We have the first day of school where many a mothers' heart is
broken leaving their child behind. Some children adapt easily to
their new school and we have the ones that don't. Thus making it
harder for mummy/daddy to leave as teacher tries coaxing the
screaming child tugging at the apron strings. What is the child
thinking?
Teenage tantrums have to be controlled and the best person for
the job is the parent. We are there to lend a shoulder to cry on
all because they can not have Justin Timberlake or Brittany
Spears on their arm. Then as parents we struggle with Once upon
a time there were the birds and the bees. Parents are the first
to see danger signs. Whether it be the wrong choice in
boy/girlfriend or maybe the people they hang out with. so when
they receive a clip around the ear for doing something they felt
was right and mum and dad didn't, then what was that child
thinking?
The wedding ring exchange between your child and their partner
tells you the parent it is time to let go now they have all
grown up. But do we ? I don't think so.
Whatever the age of your kids you will find they will always be
your babies.
What were those children thinking? Well let me tell you, mum and
dad it because they cared.
Want to know what the married kids were thinking? Well I think
you may have guessed that one yourself. So you see as protective
and caring parents we could not let go if we wanted too because
someone has to look after the grandchildren.
It is cruel world out there and in some sad cases children have
lost their parents to illness or misfortunate events and have no
one to point them in the right direction. If you want to help
your kids then further their education. This way they have a
chance to get on in life. An educational background works
wonders in the career world. You can find more information about
online education on the internet.
Don't have your kids thinking they missed out on an opportunity
because mum and dad chose not care anymore.
