Parents Care

(i recieved this via email thought id share it)

When I was 4 Yrs Old :
My father is THE BEST

When I was 6 Yrs Old:
My father seems to know everyone

When I was 10 Yrs Old:
My father is excellent but he is short tempered

When I was 12 Yrs Old:
My father was nice when I was little

When I was 14 Yrs Old:
My father started being too sensitive

When I was 16 Yrs Old :
My father can't keep up with modern time

When I was 18 Yrs Old :
My father is getting less tolerant as the days pass by

When I was 20 Yrs Old :

It is too hard to forgive my father,
how could my Mum stand him all these years

When I was 25 Yrs Old :
My father seems to be objecting to everything I do

When I was 30 Yrs Old:
It's very difficult to be in agreement with my father,
I wonder if my Grandfather was troubled
by my father when he was a youth

When I was 40 Yrs Old:
My father brought me up with a lot of discipline,
I must do the same

When I was 45 Yrs Old:
I am puzzled, how did my father manage to raise all of us

When I was 50 Yrs Old :
It's rather difficult to control my kids,
how much did my father suffer for the sake of upbringing and protecting us

When I was 55 Yrs Old:
My father was far looking and had wide plans for us,
he was gentle and outstanding.

When I became 60 Yrs Old:
My father is THE BEST

Note that it took 56 Yrs to complete the cycle and return
to the starting point "My father is THE BEST "

Let's be good to our parents before it's too late
and pray to Allah that our own children will treat us
even better than the way we treated our parents ... AMEEN

I liked that, but disliked how it ended on such a selfish note.

Why shouldn't we just love our parents for THEIR sakes, or for Allah's? Why should we just because we're concerned about how out kids will treat US?

Anticlimax fail (n) But liked the rest and broader message (y)

I think the suggestion may have been that when they are some times harsh, there is wisdom in their harshness that cannot be understood unless you stand in their shoes.

i liked that and its also true and sooner a person realises the better.

you be in rebellion for a couple of years then you realise its all for the best and just go with it...but sooner you realise the better less headache for you an parents.

You're assuming that the parenting is perfect and not out of tune with the times.

(which also the main piece is assuming.)
