Our upbringing as kids is different because we have people who were pampered when they were young while also we have people who receive tough discipline while growing up. This differs from the lifestyle of our parents where some inherit the habit from their own parents while other parents train themselves that way.
The training we received while growing up as kids depends mostly on our parents especially with their attitude and character they showcase to their children. We have parents who don't allow their kids do anything and if you ask them why, they will refer to it as punishment while this is vice versa to other parents as training to their children.
This attitude of parents not allowing their kids do any house chores occurs mostly in a wealthy home where house maids are there to do the work for them. But they forget to know that the training they are suppose to pass to their children is been transferred to the house maids as this makes them more better.
I was pampered when growing up but when I got to a particular age, my mum change the whole scenario and became more disciplined and this occured before i was 10 years old. As kids, we might not know the importance and advantage of doing such at that age not until we've grown to realize that those discipline is very important.
During my days in the higher institution, I met so many people with different characters that I begin to wonder if they have home training or lack it. Some people find it difficult to wake up on time, others find it difficult to cook and also we have those who don't have the mindset in cleaning their surroundings instead they depend on other people to do it for them.
The home training we are talking about is what our parents taught us that we are implementing or showcasing and if you see anyone that is not doing so wasn't trained in that aspect. There's really a lot of things we need to be trained on when young because when we get older is might be difficult to adapt.
Lack of home training is also part of what is destroying so many homes today that it is also increasing the rate of divorce. Training is not punishment but discipline and we really need to catch our children when young in other for them to follow the right path.
Some parents might not have that time to be with their kids and the reason mostly is due to their jobs. However, if there is a house maid, there should be a strict law that he or she should also try to teach the kids or show them what to do to keep them busy which will help them.
I won't pamper my kids that much but I will ensure I show them the right thing to do at their early age so they can be able tok handle things effectively without missing much of my presence.
