Parents hopes and wishes ( sky is the limit for certain Parents)
Something I learnt and observe in my life about kids and adults who were less fortunate in their earlier days was, when someone become a parent, they want the best of best for their wife and kids. Some individuals whom were known as friends and relatives , provided the best for their family members which they did never get to experience during their teenage or growing years. A father bought the best car and showed around the world to his kids, almost every year he made overseas trip to other continents with his family. Before the kids were teenagers , the father had shown them almost three quarter of the world. The wishes that he fulfilled his family members hardly can be followed by an ordinary person.
His wife once told me that she wants her daughter to go for higher studies and to settle in overseas. This mother is a drop out of form 3 and raised by her relatives since she was a baby. Whatever she missed in life she wants for her kids. Her husband was very careful with his money, but bought all the expensive things for his wife including the most expensive cooking pot .Both husband and wife had big dreams for their kids, the mistakes that they made was, hardly they let the kids mingle with outsiders or anyone, because they want everything quality for their kids.
This situation had made the kids more like frogs under coconut shells, where these kids unable to differentiate good and bad or to gain exposure by mingling with people from all walks of life, only thing they learnt from their parents was being thrifty with money. Due to their less exposure dealing with the less fortunate and less conducive community,they behave out of place in many situations, until a friendly pat and teasing, seemed like not common. Even when the aunties and uncles tease or joke with them , they sound rude and spoil the situation. These kids were not really moulded in life and unable to deal with various characters and behaviors of human beings.
One example was, The mother treated the father badly in their presence at home which made them feel confused and restless.The worst situation was , when the kids were back home for holidays during semester break, The mother was always with her sharp weapon, I mean attack her husband in her kids presence, and the kids were most of the time, were miserable and had tough time. So hardly, they back home for holidays or even if they back home,they try to visit their close family friends and spend time with them.
