Since my parents changed my school when I was in 8th std, I was not able to adjust to new school and new friends and all students used to rag me & was making mockery of me. This is fact affected my studies and the result is, I used to score less marks in all the subjects and teachers wanted to meet my parents. I used to hide my marks with them & I was signing in my parents name in the marks card and also getting regular punishments from the teacher as to not bringing my parents to school. Finally, there was no other option for me other than bringing my mom since I could not take others as my parents to school just as Indu took sajini. But I expected that I would get nice scolding's on that day. But the situation was entirely different, my mom did not tell anything to me. Neither she spoke nor slapped, nothing. This made me even more worried. She was very silent & she cried & explained me as to what all expectations they had on me. Her one word has changed my entire life & that was the last day of my school life as a "bad student". Now, even If I tell this to my new friends, they don't even believe it. So handling situation is most important.
I think Indu had a good mother i.e., shweta and she brought up well. I don' think Indu had a parenting problem. The child shd fear for alteast one parent otherwise child will go out of control. But Indu does not fear for any one. I don't blame Rishi for this, since he was also teaching her the good manners when she spoke arrogantly with others. In old generation, parents used to beat the children to teach them good manners and the children used to forget it all after few seconds. But this generation children are very sensitive and does not like parents scolding them in before of others and slapping them. They take it very seriously. So parents needs to handle them very sensitively other than making them physical force./QUOTE]Shweths. thnaks for sharing your story. I take a bow to your mother. Main problem with parenting is there is no school for it. No one checks on you and gives to marks which society tends to response . My parents never punished us. Never use physical or verbal abuse only their action and behavior was enough of us. they died at very young age living behind 4 children . I was oldest one. I became instant mother of 3 and I needed parents too.. Youngest one 10 y/o . I learned very fast .and successfully raised them. Educated them . I give credit to my parent because I had role model .Many couple get married when they are not ready . With in 9 month they become parents when they donot know definition of parenting. Many people think that motherhood is God given gift and its nature instinct , yes loving and kissing and pampering your children is nature but raising them is totally different thing . You needs to be very mature and you must know that your child is totally different human with his or hers is own needs and has thinking ability but Lots of own projection and own psychological issues come in play while raising the child. Very sad indeed. Parent who need parents are raising kidsIndu is not alone .many of us are her. Parent with extreme approaches and no middle ground . No one talks to the child and knows about her feelings.thats why I think your mother was great , perfect patenting . and I am glad you have that role model to follow. I know professionally you are successful . Your moms one action did it . Many times one instance changes our whole life .The reason this thread went wild because many of us have some thing to share. Many of us have parent like a india and Rishi or worst or better . Every one is pouring in emotions . Many looking for comfort !! Because they want to be better parents. We needs school and certificate for parenting .in US they have guidance clinics because we have huge number of unwed single underage Childern having children . Very sad indeed.. This thread can go on and on because of nessasity of the subject!!I am in hurry no time to check for mistake! See you soon.
