parenthood

parenthood

A Poem by sette

If there is a class

With PARENTHOOD101

As a subject,

I will definitely

Enroll and I hope

Other parents do the same.

 

In a third world country

Like mine,

There is a big disparity

Between poor children and rich ones.

 

The rich children are mostly

Who end up as deviants in the society

Because they grow up spoiled materially

And neglected emotionally.

 

For the poor children,

They try to get out of poverty

And climb the social ladder

With hard work and perseverance.

The parents plays a big role

On how their children will end up to be.

A house full of love and warmth

Will help children be secure

And feel loved.

 

While a house full of hatred

Will trouble the child more

Especially when there is abuse.

And abuse is a vicious cycle.

 

PARENTHOOD is not about

Readiness,

But more on Responsibility.

Nice though a bit generalization though. I went to a school that had rich and poor kids (me). We were all pressured to get good grades and all and to go to good universities so this doesn’t apply to my country.

One of my poor friends went to a very prestigious one to Waseda University which is extremely hard to get into.

thank you for dropping by izzy
Well said
It is the same here rich kids are "spoilt" they get everything they want
Poor kids have to "Do without" (material things) -
Love and caring is abundant for them > they learn the value of things because they have to earn them


Sorry if this reads mixed up > I am listening and replying to others at the same time

no problem my friend
Tama ka ate isang rensponsibilidad, sa akin wala sa yaman o hirap, hindi madaling maging magulang pero kapag mahal mo ang pamilya mo gagawin mo talaga lahat para sa kanila.Pero sa isang banda naniniwala ako na hindi sa pagpapalaki ng magulang dapat nakadepende ang magiging ugali o magiging buhay ng mga anak, kung minsan bilang anak kung may malasakit ka o nakikita mo paghihirap ng magulang mo mapalaki ka lang ng maayos, nagmula ka man sa mayaman o mahirap na pamilya, dapat alam ng anak kung paano ito susuklian sa paraan ang magulang ay matutuwa kasi sa tamang landas napunta o ikaw gumagawa ng paraan bilang anak para mapabuti ang sarili.Pero kung pipiliin ng anak ang maling landas, hindi na kasalanan ng magulang iyon,kung hindi man sinuwerte sa maayos na pamilya, nasa tao pa rin kung paano mapapabuti ang kanilang sarili.

interesting the difference between children growing up in rich households as against poor in your country sette. Just goes to show that money isn't everything and that parenthood is a huge responsibility which should be taken seriously. Couldn't agree with you more my friend. Easy to make babies, far more challenging to raise them well. Very wise words from your pen.
