Mothers' Day

To-day is Mother's Day. Although my mother is not around anymore I remember her as the most wonderful person in the world. Children who can afford usually bring their mothers to a local restaurant for a special meal and give her expensive presents. Children who cannot afford should not feel bad. The important thing is that they should acknowledge and appreciate their mothers' love and care for them in bringing them up and in times when they need their mothers' support. If possible they should at least try to help their mothers on this special day in the household chores and let their mothers take a rest. In my opinion this gesture is far better and more meaning ful than all the expensive presents and bouquets of flowers. Some mothers will do the most difficult chores and endure the worst sufferings just to bring up their children and give them the best things to make them happy. And yet some of these pampered children when they grew up treat their mothers very badly; some even to the extent of throwing their mothers out of the house. These are very sad cases but it happens. This is the kind of materialistic world we live in. Thank God there are only a few cases. It is therefore very important that we should teach our child right from a young age to respect their parents and elders and not to pamper them. Love them for all you can but not to give in to all that they demand. Children are very smart and observant they note your weakness when you pamper them and take advantage of it. When they are older and independent they will try to run away from home and if you show that you missed them very much they will take advantage and you have lost control of them. The only solution then is to take a hard stand and show them who is the boss.

Now let us surf the net and learn more ourselves about how we should bring up our children: >>
