Look what they have become!

Well, I am not that old but compared to recent generation, I am a bit old fashioned. The reason I am writing this article is to highlight another harsh reality of modern society. I saw kids yelling at their parents, teenage girls treating their mother like maid, educated young man expecting their father a money machine and many more like that. They are afraid that their parents might not fit in society shoe, and they will be ashamed. So mostly teenagers do not bring any of their parent to their parties, saying that they are old fashioned. They think that their fathers are for earning and mothers for home chores, together they have the responsibility to take care of their child’s every need and wish. But please note that these parents are not allowed to interfere in child’s life like asking that why they are coming home this hour, where they spent their money, why they are not studying etc. It’s ok that you are living in their house, using food and clothes provided by them, spending their money but when it comes to their parental concern, there it seems unjust and interference to you.

So, where all this come from, how all this started? Is it because the more we are becoming advanced the more we are losing manners? Or because our education curriculum instead of teaching moral values and ethics just include how to get job and high position. Another reason might be that parents are so busy for our future that they have no time for our present upbringing. They are happy that their children are moving with the society and competing on high levels, is that enough for their comfort?? They will bring the best tutor for their child, will provide education from top institute but why they forget that home is the first institute for a child, parents are the first teacher. If you don’t have time to shape them, society will raise them according to itself.

As our beloved Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said; There is no gift a parent can give his child that is better than good manners.

Some of us would be parents and some may be in future, it depends on our upbringing that what kind of child we want. Must read it and comment below to share your views. Thank you!
