Vehicle was put to halt when the traffic was stopped
as the workers were busy with blacktopping of the road. When I stared out of
the window into another car which was also waiting for the traffic release, an
adorable laughter of baby boy on his mother’s lap in the front seat and playing
with his father who was sitting on driver’s seat caught my attention. At that
point of time my eyes staring at that child I was lost in thoughts of
relationships.
It is very interesting to note how the status of one
relationship imparts changes to another relation. A spouse and parents, two
different relationships but indeed very important roles one is bound to take up
at one or other point of life time. When one decides to take a role of a
spouse, one should be aware of his upcoming role as a parent.
It is important for a person to realize that if one
cannot be a good spouse then the title of a better parent is lost naturally. A
child will never give his father a title of best dad even if the father
fulfills all the desires of his child but fails to keep the mother of that
child happy. As such a mother does not deserve a title of better mom though she
understands and cares even the basic needs of her child but fails to shower her
husband with love and affection he deserves.
There should be proper balance for both the
relationships to survive. Only love from parents is not sufficient for the
better upbringing of a child. The child should have an environment where he
gets to receive love as well as see love between his parents. Unhealthy
environment will ultimately lead the child to a conclusion that a son would
never want a wife like the one his father has or a daughter would not want her
prince charming to be like her mother’s husband. If the unhappy status of the
relationship between parents persists then there is a chance that the child’s
perception about marriage will never be positive and would land up being scared
to take in such relationship in their future.
Suddenly the loud sound of engine brought me back
from my thoughts. The block was released and the car beside my vehicle was
already leaving. So I waved a bye bye to that baby who was at that time looking
towards my side (still smiling) and I concluded that “you need to protect the status
of good spouse in order to earn a title of better parents.”
