You are right when you said parenting is like planting flowers whereby you will need to water it, nurture it and take proper care of it so it can grow to look beautiful. And when you fail to do so the flowers will end up not surviving or surviving but it won't look beautiful.

Children also need to be nurtured and trained properly by their parents in order to become responsible and respectful people when they grow up, and when the parents fail in parenting, the children will end up growing to become wayward and worthless.
