Parenting

I am not a mother. But, my opinions do matter.

If we think back to how we were raised, most of us know what we liked, what we did not like, and what we did not want to repeat for our future family.

It does not matter how old you are - you always need your parents. It doesn’t matter if you are looking for financial advice from them, or you would like a discussion on a career choice, or you would like to just shoot the breeze with them.

If you’re a parent, it is not always about you and what you want. Your kids should be your number one priority. It’s when they are young that you need to shape them into the people they are going to grow up to be. It’s your job to teach them right from wrong, to cloth them, feed them, steer them in the right direction, discipline them, and the list goes on.

Your kids deserve to have stability in their life and be in a loving environment. They learn from you! If you do anything negative and they’ll catch on to it. It’ll begin a cycle that will be very hard to break.

It’s sickening to know there are parents out there who do not give their kids the proper attention and neglect them.

They need to act mature and take responsibility. And it needs to happen sooner than later.
