Usually, there are parents who wish to give away everything for their children and while they are growing up they also teach them the way to manage themselves in society ..... But this is what any parent in general feel....
But...
Are we all just general parents.... Well! NO
We all feel we are among those special bunch of parents who will raise kids with perfection irrespective of whether how normal or perfect we are!!!!
Its a nice thought but often with acute alertness also there are these hidden emotions within us that might not be spoken but are reflected in one way or the other..... That has an immense effect on children.
A huge responsibility of parenting according to parents is to safeguard their image or uplift their image in society.
Using children as a medium to either gain that status or suppression of their individuality to maintain that status which parents have is something kids give back when they grow. An ideal example being raising a child with expectations that our old age will be taken care of is something that a child will also do but with an inner feeling that "I have no option and have to bear with this"... Thus in both the situations it is verbally not expressed but there's a compulsion reflected in both actions that I raise you well today and you take care of my old age.....
I couldn't stop myself from a keen observation as to the very emotion parents carry while conception which also plays a vital role in developing those hidden feelings.... If a child is desperately needed to either for societal sake as a married couple one should have, or that now we need a fulfilling time with someone we can nurture or now I can bring up another life who needs care(adopted kids), etc these thoughts are never discussed or even we aren't aware of but if its more selfless the more humane values the child has... Very few people adopt children for giving someone else a life most adopt to have the pleasure of parenting but nevertheless it is more selfless than a conceived child as one needs a very generous heart to become non biological parents and that's the beautiful thought but if all the while parents carry that feeling of giving away their life to a strange kid who will be a support later will definitely not turn out to be as you have expected....
I kept thinking about all different parents and different kids they have and made me wonder about how such selfish parents have such humane kids and vice versa but nevertheless all mentioned here isn't a researched fact but a general psychological observation which can surely be challenged and can have many many factors involved but it was a thought we can surely ponder upon...
