What would you do if your parents don’t support or share your dreams? But you know what you want and you want to go for it.
Every child has the dream to make their parents proud however it becomes a problem when a child’s dream does not meet the support of the parents. Most children do things just to please their parents, and honestly, that needs to stop.
If your parents refuse to support the future you’ve envisioned for yourself understand that it’s okay. You may feel especially guilty if they are paying for your studies but they have no right to choose your career or path. I think parents who do this, need to sit back and think about the long-term damage they are creating for their children. If your parents are financially assisting you, all you owe them is to take college seriously; that’s all, nothing more. Parents must realize if they force their children to study something that their children did not want to study in the first place they will eventually fail or quit. What does this mean for both the parents and the children? Parents will lose thousands and thousands of dollars, and the worst they will give their child insecurities to deal with for a lifetime. Ask your children what they want. Parents should be their support system no matter what. I feel some parents are more worried about losing their self esteem than their child’s pursuit of happiness. I’m sure that everyone wants their parents to be proud of them, but first, you need to do what makes you happy, even if it breaks their hearts, they will get over it.
They are your parents, they have seen you grow and have seen every little detail about you. They have seen your patterns and know your behaviour more than you realise and they have seen the world a bit more. Because of these factors, we must listen to them. So the first step is to give them a patient hearing. However, just because they are our parents doesn’t mean we accept all the things blindly.We must have our own thought process. After giving them a patient listening, it’s your time to think about what they have said. They are the ones with whom you have a lifelong relationship and a close one. After having thought about their opinion properly, you may decide on the appropriate action to be taken. Either communicate your decision, go about it slowly or maybe even secretly in some cases or postpone it or reject it or whatever. It is time to take the appropriate action because you have really thought about it and now you are very sure of the decision you have made. So hear them out and give it a thought, even you might learn something directly or indirectly.
