It is very difficult for any child to understand what their parents want from them in their childhood as there is a big difference in the mental level of a child and his parents, mostly when we are young and our mother use to take care of our things like toys, clothes and other stuff. We use to say to her to leave all that at their places as well will again play with our toys so no need to put them back in baskets. For us, we say that our mother use to do extra work, as there is no need to do such work as mentioned earlier but from our mother’s point of view, we were wrong and things should be kept in the proper manner.
In our childhood we didn’t understand this phenomenon of our parents especially of our mother and use to encourage our self that we are right and are parents are wrong. But our view gets changed when we fill in our parents shoes. The same thing happened with me when I got married and I had my first baby girl. I was a very carefree girl in my teen age and use to say to my mother that she took extra care of me which was not necessary. But when I became a mother and when I use to wake up all night just to make sure that my child sleeps well, I realized that how wrong I was.
It is easy to say things to others especially to your parents but when the tables are turned and you come at their place, then you realize that how they use to take care of you and use to manage other things at the same time. How they use to fulfill your every desire despite of not having enough budget. After being a mother, I realized that it not an easy task to raise a child. It’s like taking care of the every step of your child while she walks, sleeps or eats. In the end I would like to say that we should all take care of our parents at their old age as they did in our childhood because I have realized now, after being a mother, that how hard it is to be a parent and how important task it is that is the reason that now I love my mother more after I became a mother myself.
