Family Values

Families work in many ways. Some families don’t like other people to get in there business. Others want the world to know what their up to. Some like to go out all the time and others just like to stay home. Some families like to communicate. Some don’t communicate at all. But in a way families work the same way.

You know how in families every parent has a job, they may earn more or less but they always do it for one reason: to pay for taxes, bills, and (most important) for their children. In every case the parents or parent earns money for their children and their happiness. Many families for example know where the money is head to without even earning it yet. Children try to stay strong and not think about all the stress, sweat and pressure that parents go through every day but, sometimes it doesn’t work like that. I think that that’s what every kid worries about even if they don’t show it. Economic systems are always the same even if your rich or poor and hate to deny it, yes this is how they ALWAYS wok.

Every parent worries about what their children wears and it always ends the same. In the mall or at home, the child picks clothes they want. The parent comes and does an exception on it. If they like it they approve it but if they don’t ……...well it’s like this. The parent says a comment that the child doesn’t like. The child ALWAYS says “But I want it”. Then the parent says why not to buy and tries to use the excuse of “it doesn’t look right on you” or “look at the price, we can’t buy it”, or the classic “you have many other shirts”. In the conclusion the child tries to fight back and the parent gets angry and gives us an order. And as children we have no choice but to follow them. We wine and don’t speak to the parents for about 30 minutes and then it was like nothing happened.

Now the big question that children ask themselves is “what do they expect from me”? Well, if a child tries to understand thoughtfully enough (and not ignore them when their giving speeches about life) they will know that a parent wants there child to be successful and to be happy in life. DUH…………..kids, don’t you see they discipline and push you around because they love you. They don’t want us to make the same mistakes they made in life. And I’m not saying that every parent is good because some aren’t. Some parents do it because they think its best but, they don’t know that in reality their thinking about themselves and not their children’s happiness. And that’s when we kids, need to stand up for our rights, when you KNOW when your parents are doing something wrong.

I think the important things that should matter in families are the joy and happiness of everyone in the family and to know that you could help your family in a way. Us children as future of our families must think about the choices we make in life and in the present. I know it shouldn’t matter now but in time it will and that’s when we have to choose what’s best.
