anniversary
today is my 3rd year with Blogger. Imagine that? It was just like yesterday - hehehe.. anyway... I wish Blogger and me, more years to come! Kampay!
golden rule
My mom always said that if you want to be respected you should give respect first. I can't understand how come there are parents out there who forgot this rule. Isn't it supposed to be part of Good Parenting 101?
Anyway, I was talking to a friend this afternoon -- and suddenly her mom picked up the extension of the fone and started yabberin... I felt bad for my friend-- I mean, first and foremost, her mom violated her right of privacy. She knows that my friend's on the line and yet she picked it up not once but twice. Then -- she reprimanded my friend right then and there. If I were a different person then, what am I supposed to think? I would probably think that this person does not respect me, cause for goodness' sake -- the said line was not being used exclusively by my friend -- I am using it too! So when she said something like, "you're always using the line".. in a sense she's also telling it to me.
Of course I felt bad - but not for me - I felt bad for my friend. Cause most probably if her mom can do this to her even in the front (figuratively) of her friends -- I am afraid to think of what she's capable of doing if they're alone.
Aren't parents supposed to love their kids no matter what? I am aware that financial assistance extended to your parents can give you additional benefits, but parents ARE REQUIRED to love their children in good and bad times. I can't seem to understand how could there be parents who are mean to their own flesh and blood?
In due time...
you will reap what you sow.
