After much thought over the previous entry, I feel that it is actually very difficult to be a good parent. In fact to be a parent, sometimes can be diffcult too.
Let's see. More than often, we always hear children comparing their parents to their friends' parents. Most of the time, the person who is comparing will say that their friends' parents are better than theirs. In fact, when comparing parents, children always say the negative side of their parents. Most common negative comment about parents is they are too naggy. Afterwhich, children NEVER say that their parents care for them. I am not sure if that apply for all parents but for my parents, I feel that they nag for my own good. Just like simple things, don't play too much netball. I will feel angry at times when I hear this. I know my parents do not want me to over-excert myself. However, sometimes, I also feel that parents are overly worrying for us that sometimes we lost our ability to be independent and be ourselves.
Parents are indeed difficult to be. They are worried for us yet sometimes they just simply can't control their level of worry. Can't blame them for this actually. More than often, the media been reporting about danger in the society. Sometimes, it is also the child's fault that causes the parents to be so worry for he/she. For example, parents been nagging at a child to study. However, no matter how much nagging the parents give to the child, the child just simply slack and lazy to do his/her homework. The parents there are worrying that the child is unable to do well. Here, the child just don't listen to the parents and keep on slacking and being lazy. Follow up is children saying their parents are too naggy and don't care about what they really want. In this kind of cases, how can parents don't worry for the child? Then, the parents will become over-caring.
*Sigh* How should a parent be to give the child the best?
