Best thing to happen to us all are our dear parents. We womb out into this beautiful world, and are indebted to our dear mother. Our growth owes permanent debt to our dear parents. There is no friendship, no love, like that of the parent for the child. While we try to teach our children all about life, our children teach us what life is all about.
As parents get older, attempts to hold on to our independence can be at odds with even the most well-intentioned “suggestions” from our children. We want to be cared about, but fear being cared for. Hence the push and pull when a well-meaning offspring steps onto our turf.
So what are older parents looking for in relationships with their adult children? They define themselves as independent but hope that children’s help will be available as needed. They are annoyed by children’s overprotectiveness but appreciate the concern it expresses. They use a variety of strategies to deal with their ambivalent feelings, such as minimizing the help they receive, ignoring or resisting children’s attempts to control.
Understanding why parents may be “insisting, resisting, or persisting in their ways or opinions,” can lead to better appreciation of the relationship.
Importance of parents in life is depending on our sanskar and thinking. Parents play biggest role in our development. They play important role in our mental, physical, social, financial and career development. They help us in every step of our life. Parents are most precious gift of God for humans. When we are happy then they are happy. They slapped on us when we done wrong. In time of mistakes they are like a teacher. They trained us very hard style for the future challenges. Parents are living for us. They are real God and our first teacher.
The generational gaps have incrementally reduced the distance between grandparental and parental interference in the children's affairs. Besides the active engagements with smartphones have literally obliterated the interactive interface between children and their parents.
Ignoring the wisdom the elderly has become a fashion today. Of course the younger generation has a lot to experiment with, to rise in this world.
