Sup peeps! Ayaan here. Okay, honestly tell me
what comes to your mind when you hear the word “parents”, a lot of things, right? Well I’m pretty sure that to
some of you thoughts like, the folks who brought us up, the people who love and
prioritize us over everything, who take care of our needs, who work hard so we
can have a brighter future etc. If so? Then the feelings are mutual my friend!
And some of you might have different opinions like: parents are a buzzkill, a
pain in the ass, never let us have fun, people who embarrass us in front of our
friends etc. again the feelings are mutual, and now you must be thinking what a
hypocrite asshole I am!
Okay, so
the guys who only had good thoughts about their parents, well your folks
couldn’t have asked for more and it’s a really good thing that you think of
them this way, and the rest of you, who have a bit different opinions, must be
thinking “what about us?” Well don’t worry because you guys are my main concern
today. I won’t be judging you, believe me! I’m just like you. I know how tough
parents can be at times, but hey! It still doesn’t change the fact that we’re
here because of them. What I’m writing here and what you’re reading is all
because of them, so the least we can do is respect them!
Uhmm.. Let’s
discuss some of the major misunderstandings we have with our parents:
1)
I know how over-protective
they can be at times. They don’t let us stay out late, don’t let us hangout
with our friends, how they picture our friends as a group of stoners and drug
addicts and how they tell us to stay away from them, believe me I know! But
have you ever thought why they act like this? I mean they can have an ‘I don’t
care’ attitude, but they don’t! Why? Because they love us and they don’t want
anything bad happening to us.
2)
Some of the parents can be really emotional, like the second we step in
the house they just rush towards us hugging and asking ‘where were you?’ and
‘are you okay’, and when we’re out with the squad, around 101 missed calls and
voice messages are there, left by our parents and I know how embarrassing it
can be! So now comes the main part that HOW we react in these situations? When
we come home, mom tries to hug us and we’re like “back away mom! I’m not 12
anymore” and when they start asking us questions, we usually just ignore them, go
upstairs and slam the door in their faces! C’mon now, is that the right thing
to do? I mean the whole day we’re out with our friends, don’t our parents
deserve some of our ‘precious’ time? You can do the math for yourself.
3)
Some parents can be a little strict and serious whom we call “a pain
in the ass”. They want us to study hard, get good grades, and stay away from
all the distractions etc. Are they really a pain in the ass? I mean frankly,
the things we do achieve is due to that strictness, that fear of punishment is
what that keeps us going! And by the way is it too much to expect some good
grades and discipline from your own son/daughter? Is it too much to expect a
little? Well I don’t think so.
So I urge you all to
keep patience and just respect them. Trust me! They want nothing from you other
than respect, love, some attention and hard work. And all of these demands will
definitely help you in the future in becoming a successful person and that is
what all of our parents really want from us. To become successful in life!
The Stoodies over and out!
