Parents: Our Guardians.


Hello there,

Parents. These 7 letters, one word make so much of a difference in our lives. So recently, I’ve been hearing things that made me emotional. Have you ever wondered how it feels to NOT see your mother or father at least once in a day? Yes, some of us can’t even visualize not seeing their faces. Manier times we would want to stay away from them, but that thought of leaving them sets us back, at least for me. But there are so many kids in this world or let’s say in Dubai who do not even get to see their parent’s face once a day. Why? Because of the occupation they do.

There are many parents who go abroad for office work and do not get to spend time with their children due to the work pressure on them and then there are those children whose parents do not go abroad for office work but work more than 12 hours a day. What really kills me inside is the fact that these kids do not get to see their parent/parents at least once a day.

From the point of view of child, we are emotionally attached to are parents and obviously need them with us. Every one of us would want our parents to sit down and talk to us at the end of the day about how their day was, what all happened etc. But then what about the people who do not even get to see their parents, what do they do? 

From the point of view of a parent, the only reason they work is for the wellbeing of their child. They can’t help it if they have to work extra or end up going to work on a weekend too. I mean, they are doing this so that their kids could study further, become something in life. They try to give us everything we want so that we are pleased. There are parents who give their kids anything they ask for only because they do not want their kids to have a youth like theirs. That is why they work.

For a teenager like me who understands the surroundings at a certain level, who understands the problems of my parents. I would not want my parent to work more than 12 hours just for me. I would want my parent to enjoy their life too. It really hurts to see your mother/father leave home earlier than 5:00am and then arrive home much later than 10:00pm. I know of people who sacrifice sleep or get up before time just to see their parent’s face and the worst part is THEY CANT HELP IT. I even know people who have cried, had loads of disturbing breakdowns just because they do not get to see their parent. Imagine life that way. 

I really hope you liked my blog, do leave your comments. Thanks for reading.
