Stop giving your kids everything! Stop being the drill Sargent too!

Everything is about balance.

For the parents who buy and buy and keep buying things for their children, you are not doing them any favors. You are only showing them affections through materialism. I'm sure you love seeing their reaction when they receive all the things you give them and it "make you happy to see them happy", but let me tell you a secret: Their smiles are just as big when you sit and play cars with them, or have tea with Mr. Waffles!

For the parents who truly think that they have to overspend and over plan special events for their kids...is "over"reacting!

You are only teaching them that happy memories come from objects. I hate to brake it to you, but you have a mental problem! Do you not see that all the time, money and effort you spend on acting this way is really only for you? Yes, you are being selfish. It's you wanting to see their smile so you can feel a smile on your own face! It's similar to when a parent pushes their child to succeed in school and sports...those overachievers, it's the parent who is looking for the gratification. The recognition and the praise, and when awards are to be given the parents say" I'm so proud of you!". The Selfish parents just want the sense of pride because the have no feelings of genuine pride for anything else in their lives.

You are doing the same thing for your kids. And it's all fake. They don't really care about the new toy that just cost you an arm and a leg. They don't care that you bought all the party favors, all matching theme crap, a clown and a petting zoo rentals. How many times have you heard a sincere thank you from your kids for all that stuff you have done for them?

You need to brake that cycle before they grow up and think that that is how you love children. Hurry, before they do it to their kids!

Now for you super strict parents, you have mental problems too. You have control issues. So if you had kids just so you can have control of something, you deserve to have your kids taken away from you.

As a privilege from God, He intended that we would help bring up a child. Protect them and guide them. Doing so would result in adult who would then have their own children and protect and guide them too. That cycle was to be repeated not mistreated. Your children are not your soldiers or your slaves. They belong to God.

Can you imagine how it must feel to have entrusted us humans to help bring up life and yet most children have no idea who God is!

The further away we get form Him, the more screwed up things get and then we stupidly wonder why! Why is this world so horrible, why so many diseases, why so much death and hate?

Because we are teaching our kids to love material things, never showing them that natural affection and love for our neighbors is the cure to war and hate. We are teaching them that is is okay to be in control of other humans especially if they are "your kids and you are going to raise them how ever you please".

Get off you power trip, stop loving your kids with things and analyze yourself so that you can see how wrong you are, then brake the cycle and truly raise your kids with real love...God's love.


No wonder we are all depressed!

Thought for the day:

Parents who spoil---SPOIL is a negative word.
Parents who are drill Sgt.s- Find your fellow strict parents and go open a new jail, it will be filled with all your kids!
Parents who are lax-.....You'll be on the next blog!
