it is a choice - some chose to change things and look at them from a fresh perspective others decide (choice again) that it is too hard or just dont want to look that closely - thats why I said we all need to question everything - your parents are just like you and I - they make the choices and decisions based on what they know -as in they do the best they can with what they have and who they are at the time. (Its a process you will soon find yourself in - you get to invent yourself or follow the beaten track behind everyone else lol)
You, their child can take a different path - thats your choice- you have to question their beliefs and decide if thats what you want for yourself and if it isnt you have the change to chose what you want to believe in and whats important to you.
They dont choose to be bad parents, they dont wanna explore other options - or dont know any different and didnt gain the drive to question everything... Maybe they never wanted kids and just want that time to be over and ignore it as hard as they can... they choose not to engage... their parents were bad at it and never taught them how to do it the right way (whatever that is), most just sit and think this is my lot - but they could have chosen to go out and learn how to do it better on their own.
Everything is a choice in my opinion, choose to stay the same as the last 5 generations or chose not to be the same and break the mold. I chose to break the mold my parents taught me because I didnt believe in the same things they did - but they did teach me I can seek I can look for answers and its not scary and I will be supported when I do that.
Dont get me wrong they were great parents, I just dont agree with some of the things they accept as realities (probably learned from their parents) things like hitting kids, I feel people do that for their own frustrations - try hitting one when you arent mad - just go up amd slap one for no reason, make it a good wallop - I couldn't do it can you? I feel there is other ways to discipline - they strongly object saying a smak does wonders. They dont believe in God and I do ... they think you dont need to apologise when you are wrong because that shows weakness, I apologise, and so on... you have to look for yourself and see what you think about things rather than just blindly following those before. Theyre gunna get annoyed at you for it but dont you all wanna know what you think about things without being swayed by others (including your family)Hey who knows, maybe its the right thing to believe in but if you dont test it you can never be sure
