What is today's parenting?

What is today's parenting???

When I recall my childhood my parents  never felt parenting as a task. Yes but today survey says 90% of parents feel that they are facing a competition, juggling to complete a difficult task, fighting between unsatisfied demands and over supply, as being a parent. We all have same question why has parenting got so dramatical in today's era.
  I, am mother of two beautiful kids. God has gifted me a daughter she is in her teens and a smart younger boy who is ten today.
When I discuss with many of my friends I find that problem of parenting has got viral.
Ya it is true. But we can't blame only our kids for that.

  According to our survey held we found 40% its parents, 20% its kids, 20% its technology, 20% its society. I, remember when we were small we used to wait whole year for our birthday and for diwali, as we knew and there were butterflies in our stomach as there was an excitement, anxiety, that we will go with our parents and get a new pair of clothes, footwear and accessories. As round the year we have to wait whole year again for the same. But tell me the truth is this same today?
 No our kids dont have this feeling of excitement as we have taken their excitement by giving them pair of clothes, accessories and shoes without diwali  and birthdays.
 Yes my friend before their demand we supplied them the needs over luxuries. Every Sunday we used to wait as our dad would take us for a beach walk and then we would  have a dinner and come. But we have turned  weekdays of our kids into sunday.. beach walks are less and mall visits are more. Junk food is not only on sunday.
  I, still remember and even today we have a lot of respect for our parents. Our parents never ran after us to join this class  to that class. But today we are running race in comptetion to compete ourself as best parent rather more than for our kids.
  We fear and have lot of questions in our mind that whether we have to treat our kids as a friend or not?
  I, will come up with another discussion in my next blog. When our kid turns teen what changes we are facing, how things are running in our mind and in their mind.
And many more interesting life events I would get in my upcoming blogs.
 " Our children need our presence rather  than presents."
