Fathers and mothers contemplate that their offspring don’t need them at definite stages in life, but that’s not the case. Straight from adulthood, we always need them, but because we want them to be proud of us and not worry, we put on a mask and just do life like we know. We skin our scuffles and just keep working.
Back at home or when you visit them, just be grateful that there is food on the table. From childhood, they make the effort to take maintenance of bills, feed you and cloth you so being sensitive is the least you can do.
Sometimes your ideas about life may not espouse, but some parents never want to accept or understand that you want to carve a different path especially on marriage. This is where you make-believe to be annoyed, but genuinely say thank you. If it is a blouse you dislike, but can’t say it to their appearance lest you seem unappreciative, just dress it indoors, particularly when they are home with you.
Parents will always want a bunch of things, but will only call out for one at a time. It takes all the lifespan you’ve lived to stop yourself from an explosion. Why are they like that?
Above that, nobody inscribes a message beseeching to be born. So, in reality, they owe us more than we do. If we could, we would remain babies and be taken care of for eternity. There are big babies in some adults though.
