Parents vs children

Parents are two people that matter a lot to most people. They tell their children to do things that they themselves don't do.

Parents are usually self conceited. They feel that they are better than other parents. They feel that no other parent can be half as good as them. They always feel the urge to advice other parents to do the right thing. They always feel compelled to tell other parents the right way to raise their children.

Parents always think that they know their children very well. Parents always believe that their child will always be the little toddler who runs around their backyard and never grows up. Even when their children grow up and become parents, parents still think that they know better. Parents will always assume that they know and understand the world better than their children do. They will always think that they know what their children are going through but they always get suprised when they realise that their children have a problem that they are not aware of.

What parents don't know is that every single child of theirs has his or her own problem. And children don't necessarily share everything with their parents. No matter how close they are.

However strong a daughter or a son is, whenever a parent says or does something hurtful, the child will always remember that moment.

Children try hard not to be like their parents but most of the time they become exactly like them. Unless they really really really hate their parents.

Parents believe that they are better than their children. Children will always try to prove that they can be better.

And the cycle never stops.
