Recently, I saw a WhatsApp status wherein a friend posted pictures of her kid’s birthday celebration. As I was scrolling through, I came across a sentence which left me speechless. She wrote, ‘A big thanks to the unsung heroes of the party, without whom the celebration would not be possible.’ She thanked the kid’s aunts and uncles. I have not come across such a sweet gesture before. People ask for help from their relatives without inhibitions but don’t take a second to appreciate their contribution later.
The highlight of birthday parties for kids is always the parents. Decked in brand-new clothes, they lead the party with pride. But no one mentioned all the helping hands that made the party possible.
Since the time anyone becomes a parent, duties come free of charge. Both parents take up their responsibilities happily. But I wish to shed some light on some simple, essential duties. No one takes these seriously. The child needs to be grateful to everyone in his life. The value of gratitude should be instilled at a very young age.
As the child becomes busy with his studies, he tends to forget certain things.
It is the sole responsibility of the parents to keep reminding him of this. To start with, reminisce about the memories spent with grandparents. Maternal and paternal, both grandparents play a crucial role in moulding the child’s future. Their mere touch is enough for the child to be healthy. I have seen parents who don’t even mention grandparents in front of their children. They don’t tire of listening to what they have done for the child. But when it comes to the latter, they turn deaf, blind, and dumb. They do not remind the child how the grandparents have made him sleep with lullabies. Despite their body giving up, the grandparents never gave up the caretaking duty.
Once grown, these kids don’t bother to look back.
They are on an exciting adventure in their teenage years. Once out of home, they lose themselves in fun and carefree living. Friends become the centre of joy for them. They forget that these friends are young. They can come to meet when they wish and want. But their grandparents who sacrificed their years in bringing up the child are so conveniently forgotten. The child rarely asks them to go for a drive or a simple walk. Selfish parents don’t bother telling their children these minor, essential duties.
Grandparents yearn to see their grandchildren, but some parents manipulate the kids so easily. Not only this, they don’t even ask them to meet and greet their grandparents once in a while. Experts in making excuses, they convince the grandparents in the blink of an eye. The child has to look after his future, and he has to maintain relationships with his friends.
The parents forget,
that life is a circle. Tomorrow, they will become grandparents too. Karma works. It is impartial. The parents who have made their parents yearn for grandchildren will go through the same pain for sure. But all they want is momentary praise and claps from their child, only for themselves. They conveniently forget the aunts and the grandparents who helped them make the child who he is today.
If you don’t teach them the virtue of gratitude, tomorrow they will forget you, too. What goes, comes back, too. Do it not out of fear of this situation but as a matter of humanity. Please be humble enough to maintain the bond between your child and his or her grandparents.
