WAKE UP PARENTS

*Excellent article by.   Dr.Alok Kar*

Years back, *poor illiterate  parents* produced
🔹Doctors,
🔹Engineers,
🔹 Scientists,
🔹 Accountants,
🔹 Lawyers,
🔹 Architects,
🔹 Professors..,  whom I will refer to as *Group 'A'*.

These *Group 'A'* Children struggled on their own after Primary 6 or Grade 12, to become notable personalities. Most of them
👉trekked to school *barefooted*
👉went to farms
👉fetched water and firewood
👉cared for domesticated animals
👉did some work including trading after school to survive.

Now Group 'A' ,who have now become Parents themselves are *producing  Group 'B'  Children*
These group B children are
🔹pampered
🔹 helped in their homeworks or home assignments from nursery school through secondary schools to higher institutions.
🔹chauffeur driven to very expensive schools or are sent abroad to study. 
🔹they can watch movies from morning till dawn after school.
🔹 they are treated like baby kings and queens.
🔹they don't do any household chores.
🔹Food is put on the table for them,
🔹their plates are removed and washed by parents or house maids.
🔹They are given expensive cars and clothes,
🔹not forgetting *big pocket money to be wasted* !!!.
🔹Their parents help them in doing their assignments.
🤔 In spite of all these, only few can *speak* or *write* correctly. 😏

🤔Group 'A' Parents  cared for their own *parents* and *children*, Group 'B',their Children are still *struggling to find their feet at age 30+*.‼
🤔They find it difficult to do things on their own because they are used to being helped to think and doing things by Group 'A'. So they can't help themselves, their parents or the society. THEY ABANDON THEIR PARENTS IN THEIR BID TO ACQUIRE THE WORLD

😴 *Where do you belong*❓
🏮Reduce the pampering and the unnecessary help you offer your children.
🏮 Let your children *grow in wisdom, intelligence and strength*.
🏮Let them face the truth and the realities of life. Teach them to grow  to become *independent adults.* Teach them to
👉fear God,
👉respect  others and
👉develop confidence in themselves.
🤔Parents, discipline your children to become disciplined adults, *useful* and not *useless.*

Share with all ur near ones  & make a difference in their lives... 😊👍👍

  1. Hahaha....the writer certainly does not live in the 21st century or does not have children....if we were to let our kids go to school barefoot and fetch firewood etc we would probably be reported to child protective services these days. I think kids can speak and write properly . Some kids are even smarter and more qualified than us...
    Kids these days do not have it easy. What with high unemployment and very expensive housing . I most certainly do not chauffeur my kids or give them huge pocket money. So stop patronising us, poor parents .We are doing the best we can for our children...

    1. I 100% agree the blogger Doctor. Dr has put a reality.A very few think in this line but Dr has correctly spelled. There are children still going barefooted to school and collecting firewood other than school time.

  2. If "fear God" changed to "be responsible for their own actions" will be better.

  3. Not totally accurate. Both group A and B types have existed for centuries and even now. It's the choice a person makes. Those days there were not much career options but, now there is. Targeting parents who work hard to give a different life style to their children should not be criticized in this manner.
    Doctor seems to have copy pasted an old writeup I remember reading many many years back. Not a very appreciated way to get attention.

  4. What.A.Joke.

    Years back in the boomer era, "poor illiterate parents" produced "insert high level jobs"

    So are you saying all people that got notable jobs are only from poor illiterate parents? explaining group A trekked to school barefooted, went to farms and all this crap is only there as the economy was poor and technology isn't that advanced. That's what the majority people do for a living.

    Those mentioned "hardships" are only done as that's the only thing a 3rd world underdeveloped society does. Those hardship are now almost nonexistent as our society is trying to be a developed nation. using technology to overcome hardships and unproductive man power. If fetching and firewood, cared for domesticated animals is an actual way of nurturing bright future citizens, why not the most developed country do so?

    Don't use the past as justification of the future. For example. women have less rights in the past, enduring discrimination and still managed to strive for a high ranking job, why not bring back women inequality to the society now? won't making everyone have equal rights cause women to be pampered and expect their problems solved? Yea, you see the flawed logic yet?

    The reason why in the past its easy to get a higher education for the people that strive for it, is the difference in the education system. You have an AFFORDABLE higher education. But your generation screwed this up for us.

    let me give you some statistics.

    Annual tuition for Yale, 1970; $2.500
    Annual tuition for Yale, 2014 $45.800

    Minimum Wage, 1970: $1.45
    Minimum Wage 2014: $7.25

    Assuming you work every single day for the 4 years of your undergrad (1460 days) and every single penny you make goes to tuition (tax deductions aren't factored in)

    Daily hours at minimum wage needed to pay for tuition in 1970: 4.72 hr
    Daily hours at minimum wage needed to pay for tuition in 2014: 17.31hr

    Annual tuition for Yale, 1970 adjusted for inflation to 2014 : $15,253.61
    Minimum wage, 1970. adjusted for inflation to 2014: $8.85

    This is what we're given to work with, and were called lazy, pampered and not knowing to solve problems. you want to know whats the cause? Because YOUR generation and the generation before it decided they wanted to go to school for "free" or rather on the government's dime until they graduated and got a job to pay them back with reasonable interest rates. Great plan right? Wrong, Because that gave the schools free reign to jack their tuition rates up every year, because now the government was guaranteeing them that money. And the increased cost of living, and the recession that not my generation but the ones before it hurled us into.

    Its funny how you say we are pampered and are not independent to do things on our own. yet the majority of the boomers are still technologically inept. That's just plain ignorance. Your generation is smart enough to cause global warming and a hole in the ozone, yet not smart enough to know you have almost the whole entirety of human knowledge accessible just by typing a few words? Saying you are not "tech savy"? No, you older generation just refuse to learn, full on your egoistic thinking that you are, stuck on your ways of entitlement. Technology is what shaped the future and its the definition of our current era. If you cant cope with that, then stop spreading hysterical nonsense of how much better your generation is than ours.
