The Unspoken Rules of Parents / myLot

Philippines

August 26, 2023 11:48pm CST

Unspoken rules are those things that aren't written down and that children are absolutely sure about. I am speaking based on my experience during my childhood years. In the past, children would behave and stop doing things by just looking into their parents' eyes. For example, my biological parents will not utter words or anything. They will just look at us with piercing eyes, and we will know we have done something wrong. These are some of the unspoken rules that parents have followed in the past. Unlike nowadays, some children tend to be more aggressive and rebellious. Thus, unspoken rules can be practiced not only in parenting but also in how we deal with other people. Do you adhere to any other unwritten rules?

It was the same for my brother and I. Our parents did not need to speak, just a look and we knew we were doing something wrong.

I also think it is a skill to know these unspoken rules. Some young generation Z is not so keen with this.

@Shavkat The young generations are less respectful of their parents and grandparents.

@LadyDuck I also noticed this. That is why I keep on guiding our big niece to be respectful at all times.

We were raised the same way. When we're in public and behaved a certain way, our mom will just give us "the look" and we will instantly behave.

It is the best thing that we can do for them. If not, they will freak out.
