really thats so sweet from you and yoru friend who did all that, nice things means meaningful things not pricey things, its by the menaing oft he things not by the price of the things or by it is sizes, its only has a meaning when its from people you like and when you need it or they need it and gave it to you, its so beautiful to feel for others when they dont say a word and help also without them to ask you to help

@mangoh ,
Thank you for saying that.
They are after all my parents. I am just trying to return the love they gave me and my siblings while we were growing up. They sacrificed a lot in order for me and my siblings to have a nice life and be sent to college.
Now, that I already have a family, I see to it that I still have the time to be with them in my free days from work and give them the things they may want. Although, my father being a retired judge have a big pension, this little thing such as giving to him this gift that is supposedly for me, made him so happy.

That is so nice to hear this thing about you my friend. You are a person with a kind and generous heart , because you like sharing things especially when it comes to our love ones.
You share without asking for return and that is what is expected of us when we help people or share our time to help other people.
Really, you volunteered in Central Asia? When was that and what did you do as a volunteer? And were you not given any allowance for your needs there, or were you in allowance basis?
It is really a nice feeling when in our own little way, we are able to share what we have not waiting for any return at all.

That is how we should be to our parents. Loving and caring. Even if we give them little things, it means a lot to them already.
That’s because they feel important when we give them these things they want. Especially, when they are already getting old, the least we can do is be with them, talk and share stories with them. Time is already getting shorter for them, so we should find the time to even just be with them and give them small things like their favorite foods.
They took care for us all since our birth and until we can be on our own already, so when the time comes that they are already a bit older, we can start paying back those days when they took care of us.

So funny. Moms can complain about a gift we give them and we’ll bend over backwards so that she will be pleased. :0

@Treathyl FOX ,
Yes, moms would complain of our gifts. My mother is like that.
She would complain that she has lots of them already, when I gifted her a shawl and a bag.Father got angry at her for being that way and reprimanded her that she should be happy we gave her a gift and it comes from our heart. The next time around , she didn’t complain anymore.
That is why, I like giving a gift to my father, because he would really smile from ear to ear and would thank profusely for it. Little things means a lot to him already. 🙂

Very true, when I was searching for a photo from the net free share on google to upload on to this article. I have seen similar selfies as the ones you are mentioned and felt sad about seeing what people were doing. Hence I choose the picture which you saw on the top of the article. As it does not potray a face committing any of the acts discussed or something other than the ones mentioned above.
I did this because I did not want these people to given any advertisement for the acts they do. I more things is we do not know which picture will provoke what in the readers mind hence I avoided any pictures on this subject. I do not know why so many videos are being uploaded and why sites encourage them too. As told by you since this is a universal issue there should be strict implementation of the technology and communication laws to see that these sort of things are discouraged and prevented. Thanks for voicing you opinion.

What you are following in your family is the right approach as learning has to be as per their age and the children should be given options and told to decide about things rather than asking them to do one thing or the other because either both or one of the parents would want or like them to be doing that. I teach children and find that when they are receiving the new books which a changed pattern and received syllabus in new books printed. The feedback which I am getting from the children is that they find the portion too much.
The education system is such that for all sorts of uses for which people use the road and drive different vehicles. Here it is like telling the children that. This is the only vehicle you have whether you can understand the subject or not. Your duty is to finish learning the subjects which have been decided by the education board till class 10. Once you finish class 10 then you have choices. If they are given such a choice many are telling I do not like so and so subject and hence I am not interested. I have the difficult and sad task of convincing why it is important for them. The education board is not too concerned about these issues. Life has become a rat race and only best among the best prosper. Thanks for sharing your experience.
