Greetings,

Dear friends days without stopping by this fun and entertaining weekend writing initiative.

The topic I will address today I find quite interesting because it makes us look at our lives in retrospect and the theme is as follows:

Making a change
If you could change something about how your parents raised you, what would it be and why? Explain a post of 300+ words and use images you photographed personally where possible.

Let's make a change.

The fact of criticizing our parents I think is something common, we always think that they can do better or that the way they do it is not the right way, but as we grow up and mature this way of thinking is turning and questioning from other perspectives.

My parents made their lives and homes very young, they got married when they were 20 years old, those were other times in the country and the purchasing power allowed them to grow as they thought to plan a future.

I was born a year and a half later, I am the eldest son and grandson of both families, I received a lot of pampering and I was very loved, when I was 5 years old my mother got pregnant with my brother and the family began to grow, then my sister came two years later.

We had a full childhood and youth, we did not complain, I had grandparents with money and I had grandparents with love, I had a mother dedicated to her children and a very hardworking father.

I learned many things from everyone, I know how to work hard like my father but I also know how to run the household like my mother, if I have to change something about their way of raising I think I would think about changing the way we get together more as siblings.

Why I say this, we have a unanimous conclusion between my siblings and I that we were raised as 3 only children, maybe I had several years of difference between them, but this way of upbringing generated a lot of individualism and lack of union between siblings, this caused a different perspective between us and today as adults we can appreciate the flaw.

My mother got cancer and died, my brother made wrong decisions in his life and to defend himself he created a reality that did not exist, my sister had to finish growing up without her mother in her adolescence stage changing to her adulthood.

I on the other hand, being the eldest, I achieved the goals that every parent wants to see in their children, I studied, got married, had a daughter (at that time) and a good economy for the time.

My brother had an early pregnancy in the middle of his college career and my parents supported him financially with their marriage so that he would not abandon his studies, but my mother also saw his graduation, as well as my younger sister's graduation.

After this we had a life without our mother who was our guide and we were left with a father who was perhaps a little detached since he only knew how to provide, I don't blame him.

A few years passed and my father died and my brother did not have the slightest importance for my father, this generated a certain resentment for my sister and me, but a certain amount of resentment was felt by my sister and me.

So all his efforts, at least for my brother, were in vain, and I learned a lot from this situation.

I try to be as much as I can for my children and that they do not lack anything, but I focus more on not leaving their important activities because I learned that this can leave marks.

On the other hand, I think UE has a harder heart and since I was a child I was like the saying "if mom doesn't go to the mountain, the mountain goes to mom".

If my dad worked a lot, I would go with him in every free moment, every Saturday I would go with him to his workshop, and I would also go with him on vacations, so my dad never missed me.

So maybe a lack of decision makes you think that you had a bad life and it is not like that.

We have children but not hearts and no matter how well you think you do it there is always a flaw, but well the world turns around and life itself teaches you and corrects your mistakes.

Thank you for reading this thought and may God bless you greatly.
