Parenting Errors

Haaa one topic I d want to write for a long long time.

Am not yet a Parent,But Ive seen incidents where Id wish the parents had some sense not to do what they were doing.
Oh yeah and since its their kids lots of em have this attitude.... like... "They are my kids I can do what I please with em. Whats your problem?"

As If they are some commodity or some thing.

There s one such incident where the parents had fixed the wedding of a fren of mine with someone in his family when he was 9 yrs and the gal just a few months old. Both of em grew up led their separate lives while all the while parents kept telling the gal that my fren is her intended husband!!! The poor gal dream t up a huge castle by the time she was in her teens. n' she wouldn't listen to the guy when he kept insisting over the years that the marriage will never take place coz he had someone else.

Now the family is in a sorry state. The gal wont let go of him. The guy cant marry the gal simply coz he didn't want to. n the elders , pressuring my fren to marry the gal!!!

In my view both the gal n my fren aren't wrong. It was the elders who put the idea in the poor gals mind.

n' my poor fren being framed a cheater what not. He must look a proper villain in his family.

The second error id noticed is a wrongly placed importance for the TV.
Most families I come across don't sit together and eat. I strongly believe that no matter what at least one meal per day should be had with all members of the family together. Please and no TV.
Unfortunately, nowadays most moms feed their kids in front of the TV. The kids grow up accustomed to the idiot box. They do not learn to communicate and so the parents miss out on understanding the kids wants.

Thirdly, No Proper communication.
Most parents of the earlier generation didn't communicate well with their parents. Guess thats the reason why they cant do so with their kids. One friends parents never tell her anything themselves. They tell a relative or a family friend and thats conveyed to the kid by the middle person. God Knows what made them do this in the first place!!!
n' the gal invariably never did what "others" told her to. She never ever opened up to her parents. Hated em for letting others command her. All the while the parents prided themselves and were under a false impression that the gal idolized em. She had no problems what so ever. Unfortunately they never realized that the Gal wanted to share a lot with her parents but , since they kept her at a distance she was forced to confess with frens. Thats no problem. But the parents never ever realized that they were missing on something.

Well all the views are strictly mine. Many might not agree with em. Each to his own!!!

I totally agree with ur views. Parents should try to spend more time with the kids and shud be frndly. Wat happens if parents don't spend time with kids? Here is the one live example ... Its Me. I hardly speak at home n probably, this is bcoz my parents were and are always stuck to TV serials when I go back to home from College/Work, result - I try to spend most of the time out of home with frnds and when frnds come in to the scene, different ppl have different habbits n dat's how i got addicted to boozing, thank god this is the only thing I got addicted to ;-). Its not a hard rule that children will get spoiled if they are out of home through out the day, but then parents will loose a chance to know their childs, wats going on with them etc..,
