In this day and age, parenthood is one of the most difficult thing to do. Some parents are good, pay attention to their children and family and contribute to the better and improvement of the children, while some pay no mind to their children. The success and failure of the kids is all in their hands, but as for the parents, they don't really care about these children. Conversely, some parents do care about the wellbeing of their children but they don't have enough time to spend with their children to know how they are faring.
for the records, i will not be scolding my child while they fold their arms like this. its too disrespectful.
they fit collect.
It is the dream of every parent to have a child, but then, many parents that i have met always say that; nobody is ever actually ready to become a parent until the child is born. I don't know the reason why they say this. I guess i will have to find out when it reaches my turn to be a parent.
Children can be really stubborn, most especially the Gen Z's. I don't know why it is like this, but then, these generation is something else. My neighbor here have talked her lungs out because of the stubborness of her children but then, they still don't want to heed to the warnings of their parents.
When i was a kid, i see it as wickedness when i get scolded or flogged by my parents. It seemed to me like I was adopted and they hated me because i was really stubborn and my mom used to be a milllitary personel. The flogging could last hours without stop. There was one time when my mom almost broke my elder brothers leg. In her words, It is better to be a responsible, useful and successful cripple than to be a nusance with his whole body intact. It was our neighbors and the intervention of the Holy spirit that saved my brother that day. When she dislines, she will always want you to repeat the reason why you are being disciplined. Her purnishment could last for hours, sometimes, she may even forget that she asked someone to "sit on the air."
Now that i have gotten past that stage, i now see the importance of what my mother was doing and all i can do is to say thank you.
I grew up with an iron fist. I was disciplined to the extent where; my moms eye have a lot of meaning to it. Some of her eye gestures could send shivers down my spine. Irrespective of how strict she was, she is the best mother i could ever have ya'know.
Now, you know this, i guess you have a hint of what type of parent i would like to be when i'm ripe for that phase of life. I will be a loving dad, just like how my mother was a loving mom. Friendship with my kids will be prioritized, love and affection, i will show to my kids. I will have a very close relationship with my kids, but then, when it is time for my belt to lash their back, i will not hesitate. I will always spoil the rod, and save my kids, any time, any day.
When i discipline, i will use both physical means and my voice, Not to insult my kids perse, but show disappointment and advice them on the thing they did wrong, thus, teaching them a better way to approach similar situation in the future. But before i use my voice, i will first use my belt to descipline them.
