parents are made to be ignored

Tweet

when i was younger, i've read this phrase off a magazine. and it totally struck me to the depths of my heart.. . back then, i didn't fully understand what it means. i get the point of ignoring them, but i never thought it would go to such terrible extent.. . my mother died back in 2002. but it is only now that i've got a child when i really started to realize what it meant.. . my mother used to nag me in everything i do. crossing the street, spending money, choosing friends, studying properly, in everything i do, she always had something to say. she's quite over-protective and i used to get really annoyed with her telling me what to do.. and i simply kept ignoring her. back then, i know for a fact that they tend to spoil me since i'm her only child (she's my dad's 2nd wife) since my two other siblings who came before me died after birth. i know very well she does it because she loves me so much. but then, i was trained to think independently, and kept on doing what i believe is right. . now she's gone, i've realized she wasn't merely nagging me. but now i understand why she kept on doing that. and its because she loved me so much, and she was actually already training me how to become a good person. she's already teaching me why parents, especially mothers, protect their children to such extent. and it needs a long time to polish before i can actually become one.
