Life of a kid

Have you ever been beaten by your dad or mum because of something you think isn't worth the beating?? We all have one way or the other. One time, on a December afternoon, my mum asked me to plug in her phone upstairs, as I reached to plug it in, she came upstairs and started beating me. A black American would ask what she asked me like this, "what the hell are you doing there? Trying to get electrocuted?" 😅😅

Well, she actually forgot she asked me to plug in her phone to charge but she apologized after I told her. What I'm trying to say is that no matter how hard our parents might on us, there's always a little way they can understand us, you just have to figure it out. As kids especially naughty ones, we grow up thinking that our parents either do not like us or didn't train us the way they should have or that they shouldn't have punished us before questioning us and so on, because of these kind of thoughts, we tend to drift away from our parents and either run to friends or someone that we feel comfortable with, we start keeping secrets and making mistakes without proper guidance and without proper guidance, we tend to make more mistakes and also learn the hard way. 

My dad once told me, "we, your parents want to be close to you, we want to help you, we want to guide you but we can't do that when you don't tell us your problems", he also said that though they are not the best of parents, they care about us and if they had known better, they would have done better. Some people find themselves in a family where their dad advices them like he's shouting at them and then the mum talks calmly to them, because of this, they conclude that their dad hates them. It's not so and to be honest, if our parents had known better on how to take care of us, their children, surely they would have done better.

Why would you conclude that your dad or mum hates you when you still leave under the safe roof with them, when they work so hard to put food on your table without complaining to you of how much stress, physical and mental breakdown they had to go through to do so. Our parents love us no matter how bad they may seem to us, the only thing is that they don't know the best way to show that love, they get scared too of making mistakes. We shouldn't think that our parents don't love us instead we should learn from them. We didn't feel good when they did this or acted this way... learn form it and talk to them about it in a polite manner , this way you can make your parents better as they make you better too and bet me, they will get to understand you better.

We fail to understand something about parents, they are humans with emotions and feelings too. As much as they care for you and love you, they also want that same love and care from you. Just as you go through hard times, they go through hard times too and they need us more that we can understand. Be good to your parents, love and care for them, cherish and support them so that when they are gone, you will have no regrets and have lovely memories with them.
