Parents always mean well!

Besides taking care of the physical well-being of the children, parents also carry the heavy responsibility of teaching them the right values and guiding them onto the right path.

No parents would want to see their children going astray, doing the wrong things and suffering from the consequences of their unconsidered actions.

As a result, parents would always tell their children all the dos and don'ts in life. But, children being young and inexperienced tend to think that parents are nagging at them. So, they retaliate by not listening and sometimes even trying to do the exact opposite. Many parents sometimes feel so helpless. But, little do the children know and understand how much their actions and behaviours have saddened the hearts of their own parents.

So, children, listen to your parents. Parents always have your best interest at heart. They mean well. They are seen to be nagging because they care for you and they love you. So, listen to them. You have nothing to lose but everything to gain.

Incidentally, today is September 11. During the 911 incident, there were those who lost their loved ones. I am sure many of those children who have lost their parents would wish that they had listened to their parents more, and they certainly don't mind their parents nagging at them, if at all, the parents were still alive today!
