Parents are a different species, they love their children, but then they are the ones that criticize their own child the most. I know, the criticism is for the child to correct himself/herself, but then sometimes it gets too much to handle.

Though time has changed considerably now, it was not so earlier. Parents were super strict and children were scared of them to hell. Thanks to effective parenting skills that are for views all over the internet, present generation parents are getting friendly with their offsprings.
I am a parent myself and truly relate to why my parents behaved and are behaving the way they did and doing, but then I sometimes feel it is kind of too much.
Going back to the history, my parents hated me. Well, I agree, I was the kind that nobody could love, but my parents would compare me with anyone and everyone and praise the Lord of giving me Vagina instead of a penis for they could get me out of the house as soon as possible by marrying me to my husband. Well, they did what they aimed and are repenting. They now tell the same people in front of whom they once criticized me saying I am an angel and the best thing to happen to them. I have to smile beamingly in front of them but deep inside I can see they are judging us 馃槀.
I am still the same me. Haven't achieved anything worth mentioning for them to be proud about me, but they are for no reason. I sometimes wonder that they were angry on me because they wanted to correct me, and t now that they have realised that they couldn't correct me, they are happy that they didn't achieve anything 馃槀馃槀.
