Indian-Parents
New Delhi: Bond shared between parents and kids is indescribable. This relationship is one of the purest bonds. Every parent is protective when it comes to their children but one thing we cannot deny is that Indian parents are overprotective. Indeed they are the best cheerleaders but with time we find that sometimes they unknowingly control or dominate their kids either by using some blackmailing lines which instantly melt the heart of the kid or they lie to us thinking this will solve half of their problem.
Here are a few lies which we heard during our childhood and which are hardly connected to reality
1. “When parents says abhi padhlo, uske baad aaram hei aaram h” : As kids, we have listened to this almost every day that life will be sorted.
You will cross your half of the life but trust me there is no rest (aaram) till you are on this earth. One always has to struggle to reach his/her goals.
This phrase sometimes motivated us to enter adulthood. Now that we are adults, half of us want to go back to those days because we were not burdened with responsibilities earlier.
2. “Ek ladka aur ladki dost nahi ho skte”: Spoiler alert! it’s okay if you are friends with the opposite gender. Just because you are friends doesn’t mean you will fall for them. The problem is we start romanticising even friendships. If you are a teenager or adult then you can definitely understand this society starts questioning the character of the person and somewhere this is the reason some women and men don’t feel comfortable talking to another gender.
3. Ladke rote nahi hai: In some of families we teach men to not cry. If a boy starts crying most of us heard this “Kya ladki ki tarah roo raha h, mard ban” (Why are you crying like a girl, be a man). Crying is absolutely normal, teach them to express their feelings openly.
4. “BCom, BCA karke kya kroge , Engineering ya doctor ki padahi karo bohat scope hai”: Parents force us sometimes to opt for that career which they couldn’t and somehow in order to fit in their expectations child kill their passion. Let your child follow his passion you never know what great result it is going to bring.
