How do you expect kids to respect their parents as they grow up?
( Reproduced here from my FB post dated 6th December 2015)
I was standing at Murugan Temple, Chheda Nagar
in Mumbai involved in Krishna's service and come across this scene which
unfortunately has become common these days. A young couple in their late
twenties are walking alongside each other. Trailing them is an old lady in her
sixties. She was carrying, with great difficulty, on her waist a small healthy boy aged may be two years.
This kid is the son of the young couple. While the parents are walking happily
hands free, the kid was noticing them from behind.
If the young parents are
making an elderly housemaid to carry their kid, how can they expect him to
relate or respect them as he grows up, as these are impressions which the kid
forms in his mind? What did they learn in their life? What are they teaching
the kid? Don't they realize that it is they who should carry their kid and give
him the pleasure of their touch? How could they make such an elderly lady carry
the boy? And some parents keep complaining that their young children are not
listening to them!!!!!
