I appeal to all the parents.
Parenting is extremely tough.
Do not further give birth to children
if you cannot rear them,
if they have to bear
abandonment
or will have to live with this fear.
I have seen children
who are given too much love
and no control over their lives
by the caretakers who keep their hands above
the child to protect her from any problems
but then the child never becomes
self-dependent and sometimes, also turns
out to become rude, “spoilt” amd inconsiderate,
which their parents later
repent and hate.
I have seen children
which are unable to find themselves
in the burden
of the care, love and duty
that their parents have given
and how they have taken
care of all their necessities,
tackling all their difficulties
that were created due to such needs.
Then, they blame the child very subtly
for their miserable condition—
financial or emotional—
in the past or in the present.
They burden the child with unnecessary guilt
and hates the child’s independence
from their authority.
I know about parents who hit
their child whenever they feel fit
because they feel that it is their right
and something that their child should
happily and readily accept,
passing on the cycle of dysfunctionality
that has been passing on
through generations in their family.
But I have also seen parents
who are best friends
to their children
not with some selfish motive
but because they know that it is right
to be friends with their child
before being parents,
who maintain the secrets
and trust of their child
and do not burden
or try to mould their child
in the norms of society,
knowing that society
has no right to affect their parenting.
But if you are not ready
to be such parents,
please don’t give birth
to another life
just because you have to
under familial and societal pressure.
Don’t let them enter
a world they would love to leave.
