What is good parenting? I sometimes read posts on Mumsnet andI am amazed how parents are belittled for reprimanding children. How do you teach the kids discipline, values and build character. I see comments where if you are trying to teach your kids the above values through love, talks, rules or in the end punishment, you are termed as harsh. And if you are not trying to teach them the above, you are termed as a careless parent. Why do parents and parenting style have to be judged so much. We as parents are anyways dealing with too much, we are trying to make sure the house is running, there is food on the plate, dealing with the tantrums, demands of the children, being constantly judged by everyone around, being the biggest villain in our children's life especially teenagers, being always doubtful whether our behaviour is right or wrong, the list doesn't end. People please be nice to each other, that is the least we can do. We parents are humans too and can falter sometimes. We are learning everyday to be a good parent, learning from success and mistakes. Let's not make it more difficult for each other than it is already is. Be nice.
