Re: Are The Parent To Blame?
There is no perfect way of parenting.
As all parents and kids are different, they need to deal with it differently.
Ofcourse parents love their kids the most so they give the best to them as per their ability and understanding.

Parents play a role in developing a child's character but once the child is an adult, they have a choice to be better or worse.Joseph_ngaruiya wrote: ↑05 Sep 2020, 00:05Clarence is the name you forgot. I see you narrowed it down to an individual level. To some point, I'd say everyone is responsible for their own decisions. Okay, parents may also have something to do with it, but you ought to choose how you respond to it. But then, how does a child grow without doing the awful things he/she sees or those that have been taught by their parents?AntonelaMaria wrote: ↑04 Sep 2020, 12:22 Is that what every parent ask themselves all the time. Am I doing okay? Am I making the same mistakes as my parents? Everybody does them. The mistakes I mean. It is hard for me to judge the choices they made. I think Kalaya turned out just fine. You also have Jamal and what is his brother name I forgot, two sons raised by the same parents and in the same environment that turned out differently. Then you have four kids that Lena had that are raised in domestic abused household. Soemtimes you just roll with what you get. I wouldn't put blame on anyone but they certainly had an impact, together with other sources.
It is true that children learn how to behave from observing their parents behave. For a while, a child might develop any character on autopilot(good or bad), without realising this.
Part of adulthood marked by growth, however, is becoming self aware enough to unlearn the traits you don't want and learn the traits you do want.
To become the kind of person you would like to be.
At this point, it is out of your parents' hands.
In other words, it is not your parents' fault.

Couldn't agree more. Even love isn't enough a guarantee the children won't be hurt. I guess it all comes down to awareness and the ability to change for the sake of others' wellbeing.Christieee wrote: ↑07 Sep 2020, 08:01 Parenting is difficult. A parent could do everything within their power for their child, but something unexpected could always happen. As a parent though, you love your child regardless. This, I think, can also be applied all the relationships explored in the book. Lena loved her boys, but her love was not enough. Unexpected things can always happen.

I think it's not something that can be generalists. Some people are more tolerant to things that others aren't. Some get hurt by things that others don't.Twylla wrote: ↑12 Sep 2020, 09:50 I have seen children grow up in the same home where one was never a problem and the other was nothing but rebellious. God created a perfect world for Adam and Eve, and they still made poor decisions. King David was called by God to be the King of Israel, but he committed adultery and murder. There are no guarantees that being a good parent will result in good children.
I think they all did the best they could based on their life experience, and that is all you can expect from people.
