Shrinking expectations with changing generations
The earliest expectations of parents were, their son should be a good human being- belong, contribute and be responsible towards society.
The next set of parents expected their son to take care of their joint family as an integral part, contribute to the family purse, maintain balance and harmony and value the emotions of the family members.
Further generations expected the son to take care of the house- a nuclear family unit with his parents and siblings until they settled down.
Further next generation expected the son of the house to care for his wife and children. Parents were to care only in sickness and old age.
Next, the generations expected the son to only care for his wife and children. Finally, parents learned to care for their own lives with good savings, domestic help, and luxurious old-age homes.
One-tenth of the parents expected a return on investment for raising their children and,
One-tenth of the children blame their parents for not earning enough money or property to give them better luxury.
Why did this happen? Something to truly ponder about…
Did we intend to create big hearts or black hearts?
