Good morning!
Today Madi is travelling, so we will miss her luminous presence here! Branka too generally travels to Belgrade around this time.
Padma, I have noted, parenting is more democratic these days, not so much in north India, where parenting is autocratic and they are very respectful still of elders but in Mumbai and South where education is more, ironically, children though well bred and enjoy great comforts, treat their parents as equals or friends, so respect vanishes though they may love their parents immensely. Do not know your specific case but once one gentleman told me in some conversation, my husband's friend, he said, we belong to the generation where we get scared of our parents and of our children too. I wondered at his statement but understand when I hear of such cases, this is an unfortunate changing trend caused by parents making children feel entitled. Have you seen the Hindi film, Wake Up Sid, it addresses these concerns.
Have a good day everyone! Some random quotes on children and parenting.
