I would like to open these random thoughts and writings with one question: Why parents only like to think about what they want to assume about their children?

No one can deny that parents want to give what’s best for their children till they die. The thing is they tend to think/assume they really know their sons/daughters when the fact is they sometimes unconsciously made a unilateral decision that ‘this thing is the best for my children, therefore, I have to give them this’ or mad to things their children have already done with no willingness to ask them,
“What was actually happening?”
or “Why did you do that?”
or maybe just a little affection that matters such as, “Are you okay?”

This thing becomes a routine & be entrenched at home, there goes the children started becoming tired of giving some explanations & decided to be just silent all the time because they know no matter what they’d say they’d respond like it doesn’t matter at all when it actually MATTERS.

All that one-sided assumptions lead parents to label their children as childish only based on what they saw at home without knowing what was really happening to them behind their actions/decisions, even the processes of adulting their children’ve been struggled & survived a lot OUTSIDE THE HOUSE & THEIR SIGHTS.

At the end of the day, all the children just decided to be strong alone as a single fighter, otherwise, their parents think them just like to play around with life. whattalife.

But here the point has to be underlined: After all that, not all the kids are depressed. We’ve all ever had bad days or argued with our moms about which one of life path we want to walk at, people just don’t know some of us have chosen to not overthink it.
