RE: Parents- Guiding Lights or Dictators?
Thank you for sharing this lovely post. I believe that the biggest task a parent has to do is to create an independent and autonomous person. That is hard, really hard. People love their children but in that love often do too much for them which leads them to grow up into people who cant live on their own. When parents die, and they do sooner or later, a child is helpless.
Everything you said is so so true. I have seen helpless, hopeless adults because they were dependent on their parents for far too long and simply had nowhere to go when their parents weren't around. Parents need to realize that just mushy love isn't necessary for their kids. They need to be strong and responsible too which means they need to learn to stand on their own. Thank you for the meaningful comment. :)
