Remember the warmth we received when we got back home from school. The freshly cooked Maa ke haath ka khana and something experimental or new in the afternoon or evenings. We could trun to our mothe anytime and say "Mom I am hungry" and she ran into the kitchen to cook something for us. Gone are those days.

Today the kids come home , eat the food which was cooked in the morning and turn on the tv or computer and eat straight out of the packets when they feel hungry. But with working parents this has become so "normal". Whe we are too busy in building our careers do we really care about it?

We do care but the need of the time is different from what it was then. Parents need to earn more as the living expenses are rising. In a wat they do it for their kids because they want their children to have best education and best jobs in future. So though we care we just can't help it.

The time is changing so the children. They better understood their parents than we are. They are little more self centric due to the modern gadgets available to them. They missed something to get some better things.

I agree with you. There is no social security in India. The living cost are rising equal to developed countries

In a world where luxuries are converted into necessities, our children lose many things in their childhood. We lived in natural environment, appreciated nature in its true sense, and enjoyed our childhood without much worries and peer pressure. In turn, what we have offered is stress-filled environment and life, converting joint families into nuclear families, relationships are getting skewed, etc.

I agree with you. There is no social security in India. The living cost are rising equal to developed countries. But in developed coutries Govet is taking care of everyone should get minimum salary for their survival. But the living cost in India is increasing based on the 1% people who is getting salary equalent to developed countires. What about the another 99% people. They are struggling for their survival every day life. Our kids cannot survive without stong financial background in future in India.All parent are realised this and started earning and saving money from now for thier kids.

yes.The present scenario has changed quite a lot. Parents of to-day are in a situation of making sacrifice and compromise and all of their children. Parents need to apply the so called POSITIVE STROKE keeping in each and every move they make.

Agree with Ravali. We have to bend ourselves with changing times. If we ensure the care which we got from our parents, we might not be able to give best education and facilities to our children

Regardless of all pressures, this is our primary duty. We need to spend at least 30 minutes quality time each evening listening to our children not just as father or mother but as a family as a whole. It can best be done over dinner across the table.

In my experience, when my children started their schooling, myself and my better half were employed. My wife used to cook B/fast for them, tiffin, lunch etc before leaving for job. Children used to leave at 7.30 AM and back at 14.00 while getting up at 6.00 AM.

My children never felt that they missed hot food for lunch. In modern world we are lucky to have utensils and allied amenities which helped us in keeping food hot for children when they come back from school. We inculcated habit of having dinner together at 8 Pm, again hot food. As they used to have hot breakfast, bite for their tiffin and hot dinner, they never ran for packeted food stuff. To my surprise, children are quite grown up but they say, 'we don't remember to have cold or re-heated food' during our schooling or ever, otherwise.

There used to be no cable TV connection from July to April and they used to run for the connection on the day of their last exam day. Due to above we could make them sleep by 9.30 PM. (Due to above, we thou too, did not generate habit of TV watching till late night). There used to be a day fixed for going to movie with full family i.e. Second Sunday of every month, thus we too did not go to see a movie during other days.

Today, my children are quite grown up and are away to USA and heading their job responsibilities very successfully while enjoying the day to day routine, hot food, films and allied modern amenities with best of their satisfaction. They never felt absence of their parents, they are obedient, sincere and very much care for the feelings of their parents.

Here I would like to say that it is upto the parents and inculcating culture in the next generation to never feel helpless in life.

From the stone age living to the present, we evolve a different living. You might have read about it in books or watched in TV serials. It is, a continuous process. As the society yields to accept development, the people need to accept the changes and learn to live a better life. So that, you contribute, not only to the family but also, to the nation as well. Change is always there. And accepting a change in positive way is too good to people.
