Children on path of adulthood and their Grand parents

Children on path  of adulthood  and  their Grand parents

(PARTLY BASED ON WHAT I READ  IN WHATSAPP)

With whatever   care and affection parents ,

Nurture   their children , from  the age  of thirteen

To twenty one, the children need very careful love,

Otherwise  they tend  to agitate   a lot and  .

Quarrels  and fights  fill up the home  the entire   day ,

Though the parents try   to do this with sincerity,

Children  think  it is a  selfish act    from them.

But  if the same  thing comes   from  their grandparents ,

They some how   seem to respond to this

Growing up   among  children  nearing adulthood .

Brings  lot of chemical changes  in them,

And unfortunately   this  is also the time  ,

When  both their parents  lead a very tough life .

At that stage   they would be struggling for money,

And there is a lot of pressure in them due to changes in life ,

And so each and every act   of their children  would be ,

Viewed with suspicion by them  and there is no peace for the family.

Parents would chide  their children saying that   their beds as well as rooms are unkempt,

They are always  speaking on the cell phone, even up to one PM

They  lack responsibility  , never bother   to help their  parents,

And  make  life  of them  miserable    day in   and day out.

The children would say, what a hopeless  parents we have ,

They are simply not bothered about our likes and dislikes .

For even small  disagreement  from what they order  they would shout .

And for every  small thing that we want, “No “ is their only answer.

The same children would show   great tender  affection,

To their  grand parents, They will spread bed   for them,

Slowly  massage  Grandma’s  leg  with pain ointment ,

And  they would obey whatever   they both tell them.

When the children say   , dhoni   should be the captain,

Or Padmvat   should be seen  by them on first day,

The parents   would harshly   argue with them,

But the grandparents would appreciate them and buy them gifts.

While the parents   would complain   about  their children,

To every one they know  , the grand parents   would be,

Paying  golden tributes   to their   grand son and daughter,

Wherever they go and with whomsoever   they meet.

The affection   shown by those  oldies to those young adults ,

Acts as a source  of  getting  out of their depressed  feelings ,

And also make them feel that  they have someone  who understands them,

And we   have to only pity   those children who  do not  live with   their grandparents.
