the important and heavily influential, in terms of consequences on the
life of their children yet have little thought of, decisions of
spending their lives away from their home and kids and spouse in order
to, wait for this part - here comes the irony, earn a living for them
and their future. Ironic! Isn't it!?
I mean, let's look at it and try to analyze a stereotypical case of
such relevance and see where we go from there. On one hand, we have a
man who has, or atleast tried to, worked hard all his life to get a
job to get married and have kids, because frankly that's what life's
all about in our culture, get a job to get a family. Now when a man
tries and achieves this target, he gets married or gets ready to be
and do so. When he does eventually get married, he enjoys it for a
while and then gets on with life again, which has changed a bit for
him, (We'll come to the spouse and children part later!.) this new
life has as his duty the providence of livelyhood to his family, and
keeping alive in the tough world of competitiveness and hard work. So,
he does so happily. He brings home money to be enjoyed by his family
to live their livelyhood to the fullest, if not barely live their
lives in case of barely-meeting-the-ends kinda examples. So this bloke
enjoys a bit of comfort in providing shelter, home and safety to his
family he so pleasingly feeds and maybe even loves.
What's wrong with this picture? Why isn't anything wrong yet? Well the
thing is that everything goes smooth and fine, supposedly, till we
reach a point where the kids, in this case we'll suppose there are...
I'm inclined to say four but... Two, tend to gain height and start
asking questions and behaving in such a way that every parent ip made
to think whether the kids of any other family do that? Or do any other
parents have to face such dilemmas? But this is just the fun part.
Problems start to come when a child does something so outrageous or
disbelieving that one parent asks another who's fault is it!? Mothers
defend themselves and the kid first most of the times, and blame the
husband in the end. Fathers think mothers tend to spoil the kids. So
many rights and wrongs, who's right and who's left! Wrong i mean?!
Well then a bit time later arguments arise in the perfect little
family as to whose fault is it that their son comes home too late and
doesn't talk or share much with them. They keep blaming each other,
shouting sometimes lovingly sometimes angrily sometimes, and in the
meanwhile the child however old he or she is, affected. So much so
that he or she might have thoughts of committing suicide. If only had
the father spent a little more time with his son...!
