Stirling is his parents’ only son. His parents raised him with great love. He gets up in the morning and runs to the varsity. Back home after university, I go out again in the afternoon to hang out with friends. At night, studies and Facebook are spent.
On the other hand, since Starling was born many years after marriage, his parents are also very old. Starling is busy with his life. He doesn’t love his parents, but that’s not it. But they need to be given proper time to Starling. There are many such stories in our surrounding families.
While busy caring for ourselves, we must remember that our parents are also slowly getting older. As people grow older, they become mentally weaker. We have many friends, social media, etc., to pass the time. Who are they without us??
They take care of everything for us; we should also take care of their things and give them time.
Yes, we are swamped, but we can make time for them. We are responsible for keeping parents happy, giving them time, and prioritizing their wishes.
*Bring a little something for parents when they come home at the end of the day; see how happy they are.
*Discuss family decisions and minor problems with them and take their advice. They will no longer feel helpless. They can think about how much you still prioritize their wishes and suggestions.
*Everyone has holidays. Give them a little more time on their days off. You can cook and feed them their favourite food and take them outside for a walk.
*Parents want their children to reach a higher level but never want to lose them. You try to make your parents happy by earning lots of money, but don’t give them time; they will never be satisfied. Your presence will make them more comfortable than anything else. You can be happy with it.
*Even if you can’t spend the whole day, don’t let your parents spend time alone. They will become more mentally ill. So you can encourage them to do small tasks.
*There are many families where both husband and wife work. They do not think about how to give time to parents. Even if it comes at the end of the day, give them some time. Bring some tea and chat with your parents.
*Also, even if you are out, you can call 2/1 times a day to inquire.
*Remember their special days and try to give small surprises. In this, they will understand how important they are to you.
Many people do not want to understand the duty towards parents. But one time, when they have to see the empty chair in front of their eyes, they know precisely what they are. So while there is time, you should understand the duty to parents!
