I simply hate all those so called infants who don’t have the ability to take their decision on their own. Your parents should be your guide who shall refrain you from doing anything wring but depending on them for each and everything is completely unacceptable.

Such people can never ever live a happy married life. This is a hard fact and if parents don’t realize this and try to make there kids independent then they are really ruining the life of their children.

It is a reality of life that each and every child has his own life and will have to manage it on his own as well. This is really important for everyone to understand.

It is the choice of parents whether they want to raise dependent kids or successful kids.

Fortunately, I was able to raise our child well. At her grade one in elementary I initially taught her on her homeworks. Then I would review her for her tests.

However at the middle of the school year, she told me that she can manage already and would just ask me for help whenever she can’t understand her homework. But since then, she never asked me again to assist her on her homeworks. She was one of the top 5 in grade one.

Comes, grade 2 she was the top 2 and she graduated valedictorian in elementary. At high school, she was a scholar at a Philippine Science High School. So with when she was at University of the Philippines. She graduated cumlaude.

Because she’s a cumlaude, she passed for a scholarship at a posh hospital’s school and graduated in Medicine as top 3.

Now, she’s a doctor. 🙂

What is a bit disappointing though, is I feel that I wasn’t much needed by her in terms of her studies. Though, she raves fro my cooking and would request for them whenever she’s at home for vacations.

For me, much better if parents will teach their children at the young age to become independent. In that matter they will grow independent, wise, and can be able to decide for themselves unlike most children who become dependent on their parents in every aspect of their live without having the courage to with their own two feet. Truly, family is the best foundation to teach their children all the necessary values thet should know to become a better person in the near future.

It is a big error for parents to always treat their children as kids even when they had grown up. They should allow them to be independent, to learn and lead a life of their own.

Parents can only give some advice if their children seek it; they can just guide their children to the right path of maturity.

True I have observed many such cases here too. One of the reasons for that is the parents indulging in ‘Helicopter Parenting’. They do not allow children to take decisions and own them up whatever the consequences. They say why are you doing these works we are there for you. Why do you have to go to the shop we will buy what you want for you. Why do you worry about money just ask what you like we will buy it for you. So on and so forth.

This same trend continues unfortunately even after marriage and it will lead to a mess as the children are still having the same mentality of the child and have not grownup. They have not been enabled by their parents. The parents on the other hand feel they have given the best to their children and have taken 100 percent care of this. While they have basically made them incapable, dependent and dysfunctional. A good topic well highlighted.

During the teenage years, children’s need for responsibility and autonomy gets stronger – it’s an important part of their path to young adulthood. To become capable adults, teenagers need to learn to make good decisions on their own.

The process of helping children take responsibility and make decisions is a key task for parents. You have an important role to play in training and supporting your child to be ready for more responsibility. This means you need to plan when and in what areas to let your child start making decisions.

How quickly you hand over responsibility to your teenager is up to you. It depends on many factors, including your own comfort level, your family and cultural traditions, and your child’s maturity.

Independence starts developing when you choose to stop actively controlling your child’s life. Instead, you give your child more autonomy and responsibility for her actions in some areas. You might not like all her choices or the results, but learning to be independent and responsible helps your child develop skills for life.

When you’re trying to decide whether to give your child more responsibility for a decision, you have three options – yes, no and maybe.

You are right; people should not just believe hearsays as if it is the truth, and then they will be affected or stressed by it. It is better if they hear or experience it on their own.

yes, right

No way pizza is overrated. But I won’t argue with about it. Just put the pizza down and back away. 🙂 😀

Quite a useful information and let us hope that may be one of the planets discovered in another galaxy do support life.

@PEEUSH TRIKHA, Hi? Yes, let us hope that come sooner another planet that supports life, and how nice if the said planet allows humans to migrate hehehe.

it being called a dwarf planet , mkes it till perceived as a planet. They shouldn’t call it as a planet anymore since it doesn’t have the criteria to be called a

. . sorry it got posted even if i wasn’t finished yet with what I still should be saying.

Good thing you posted about this because had I not read about it, i wouldn’t know the criteria of being a planet, or maybe I forgot about it anymore since it has been decades that we studies it.

@Dina, The decision was made in 2006 when group of astronomers had set criteria about the descriptions of planet. They should have known all these before so that Pluto won’t be anymore part of our thinking. This was so long ago confirmation and this was debated by scholars before it was finalized to be disfranchised as the 9th planet in our solar system.

You have no chance of winning over an angry person. Yes, just let him say his peace and just be calm.

That’s actually how we are when we are angry, we are ready to attack with our mouth and sometimes with our fists. But once we have unleash it we realize what we have done, but too late to repair the damage that was done.

Though, in what you call the rabid Anti-Putin, it is best to just keep your silence on the subject.

I learn that politics and religion are two of the most sensitive topics actually.

Indeed when trust is broken, it cannot be made whole again, just like a clay pot that us broken that can never be made whole again or even if it can be it is already with cracks. And these cracks at anytime may crack again and totally be damaged.

True, with parents , when they catch their child lying to them about the amount of tuition they are paying and discovering that what they asked from you is so much higher than what it should be, such trust can never be restored again. The parents for fear that they will be defrauded again as to the amount would just go to he school and pay it themselves. Or they can just issue checks so they can be sure that it will be paid on the said amount written on the check. No more avenue for cheating the parents.

But hubby and I are happy because our child is honest with us when it comes to money.

@Dina, hi friend? Nice you have a very good upbringing of your children. Those children doing that cheat are dissatisfied with their allowance. They might have many projects,m it remains wrong though. Having many projects and hungry feeling is not a valid reason to spend the money intended for tuition. There are many college students this time spending much to useless things,

You are very lucky. There are many situations where the parents are estranged with the children, and just can’t get back together.

I hope someone to pass by and read the lines of my poem that tells about a shattered love and dream. I hope you learned a lesson about my past love.yes, i should have let him know that I love him too. I sometimes feel guilty of that unspoken love.What a sad feeling ,love real never triumphed in the past and it will never happen again. I cannot find a substitute of that shattered love and dream.

Great poem with vivid imagination!

PEEUSH TRIKHA, Thank you friend. I love to write poems. I had written so many poems. I hope to create my own poem site,LOL.

You may try to eat squash. Many do not like the taste of squash. We may add some meat to squash so the taste becomes pleasing.When I cook squash ,I just cook it with plain water, spices many tomatoes, many garlic, many ginger, some pepper and fresh fish, so yummy, superb taste.

I kept laughing while reading your post; you are a joker. I like the phrase” Cassava tops are found at the top of cassava!” ha ha ha! Seriously,I agree with you that squash and cassava are good sources of K and other vitamins.

One need not spend so much to enjoy such nutritious foods.
