Re: Educating parents
you may want to think parenst can be more understanding but in reality we are talking about humans here..
these peopel havent read a handbook on how to bring up their children and so they try the best way they know how
ie how their parents brought or dragged them up
and then you MAY have a confliction of interests
ie
Mammy and pappy.. "child you must get married at 16 as per our custom"
girl.. "no I want to study and get a degree and job and become a teacher and then get married"
Mammy and pappy.. "but that will mean you will be about 23 before you get married and anyway tisnt teh custom
thou shalt get married because WE know better.. weve known you sisce before you were born and we have your best interests at heart...what would you know..you are just a child and girl at that"
girl.. "I will kill myself" or "I will tell my teacher and they'll have you arrested"
mammy and pappy... "Oh ok then... grumble grumble..."
