How Can You Say You are a Responsible Parent?

I am a believer of good parenthood likewise results on a good and harmonious relationship among family members. Kids raised with love, sincerity and kindness are less likely to rebel and go astray. But the other way around -- well you know what I mean. I was actually raised like this, they thought that money is all that matters. Though I did not rebel and had never been a headache at all, our family never felt that happy being together because all our differences were not put aside since our parents didn't pay much attention to this. Whenever I initiate for a good sit and talk, it seems no one cares and listens. So sad actually, so sad.

Hi Bannybanzie being responsible parents is not about providing all the basic needs of your children and family. The best thing is to earn their respect, let them feel that they are involved of some decisions of the house and acknowledge them when they do good things. they should be guided in all times.

Hi Banny, I think I am a responsible parent but I am not sure that how much I am successive on this aspect. Regarding the time, I really felt sorry many times then also I am trying my best to give enough time for them. If I didn’t spent time then it may be due the situations, may be I am much busy in home or office. This may be the situation of most working parents. In the evening I sit with them at least with their studies. If I spend more time with them then their dinner may get late. I am doing work for their betterment as the education is very costly now. If I have enough earning through other ways to meet all expenses then I love to spend my whole time with my kids.

As long as you are taking the best care of your child that you possibly can, then you can call yourself a responsible parent. if more people could pride in this, children could live a much happier life.

Hi Bannybanzie! To answer your question is a matter of time to answer too. It is a long time process, and you must wait for the result to come from the behaviour of your kids as they grow old. But you are right that TIME plays an important factor for us to shape our kids the way we wanted them to be. We as parents only wanted the best for our them. And so no matter how diffiult it may seem, we want to make it sure that all the best will be given to them. More importantly I believed, we should not forget the best things in life comes from small and simple things we do each day. So no matter how busy our life everyday is, we should not forget to let them feel how important they are to us. Make each and everyday special, hug them, kiss them, feel them, talk to them, play with them. Always communicate and ask them about their activities the whole day. That may sound routinary, but I think everything out of it counts a lot. Because once a child learns and feels that he or she is appreciated inspite and despite of being who really is, he will also learn how to appreiciate life that is given to him or her. From then, the motiviation of being positive in all aspect wil begin to grow and will lead him towards a better future. And that is the best gift we can give to our children.

if you will ask me as long as you love your children you are responsible enough... actually buying cloths, food, education, a good home,and work for all there needs. it is called your duties and responsibilities as a parents. there are differents ways to show our love in our children, sometimes we are over protected and very strict.. it depends how you handle your responsibilities to your children.. if you love them, just guide there path in the right way.. for me it is one of the kind of a good parents
