FaceBook Parenting

Children today are so spoiled by their parents today.

If you think that by sheltering them from the realities of life, you are being a good parent, you are dead wrong. In fact, you are killing your children!!

How?

You are slowly killing your children by not equipping them with the necessary life skills to live independently. You are showing them the path to a miserable life by not letting them face adversity and teaching them an attitude of entitlement, that everything that they want, they can get without having to work for it.

You are killing your children by not showing them what actual life is about, with all the mundane things like doing laundry, housework, cooking and other day-to-day things that you need to do. There is no genie that just shows up and everything is done!!

Many famous people have died young because they have not been taught to live with adversity, to face the realities of life, the ugly side of daily living. It is because of this that many of them become deluded and try to run away from it and turn to crack and other drugs to mask the sufferings.

A little hard work and a adversity will not kill anyone. It is a challenge to develop the skills necessary to live a more fulfilled life.

God will not give you a challenge that He does not think that you can overcome and learn from it.

So, parents - think about how you are slowly killing your children with your indulgence, stupidity and laziness.

I applaud the courage of the father above, who knows what are the important things in life.
