Dear Parents,
I understand we want our children to be happy, to be better than we are and to have the best in this world. It's understandable because that is why we are parents in the first place.
But the love we have for them make us weak sometimes.

We hate to say no, try not to make them angry, go out of our way to do things they want and we get happy seeing them happy. But are we concerned about their happiness now or their future? If it's the future then we need to look at who we want them to become in the future.

We must set some rules for them. Deprive them of having everything they want because they must grow up to know you can't have everything in mind. Learn to say no, scold them if they are wrong and punish them just like the western world use the word #Grounded.

Have it in mind that kids of today are manipulators, they use ur weakness to get wat they want. They know the buttons to touch to get away with everything.
You are a parent for a reason. Be firm in handling dem. Rules won't stop you from loving them but it helps their future.
