your pride and joy Posted by poolboyjames on July 1, 2009 at 12:24 AM comments (0)one thing i've noticed about parents is they have a lot of pride
once a person has a child their world changes people may tell u what to do before u have a kid, but afterwards, its assumed u know what u need to be doing also u now have this little person in your life who is showing u how much u have learned over the years, u can fix their every problem and keep them happy, u can feed them, give them advice, etc etc so with having a child comes this new sense of pride but this pride oftentimes works against a person with pride comes certain things like denial, for example if u are doing something negative to your child, and someone confronts u about it, chances are u won't listen because u are clutching that pride.. "i love my child, i would never do anything to hurt them, i'm a good parent" blah blah blah the bible says victory is won through many advisors so if u aren't taking in any advice chances are u may not exactly be headed for victory in a certain area of your life denial is like a river of excuses one unknowingly drowns theirself in they think they are sticking up for theirself and their actions by coming up with excuses.. however the opposite is true because by excusing theirself from responsibility, they are unknowingly surrendering all their power if u use an excuse to say "its not my fault" well then u have officially taken away your power to fix a matter parents have way too much pride in general if you ask me.. this is just my observation.. don't get me wrong, i think what i'm talking about is something we all can use and do better on, its just that parents seem to have a sense of pride which goes unacknowledged, pride which can lead to some ugly things in their childrens' lives my sister has kids and one thing i like about her is she is still impressionable, like if u say something to her about her kids she will listen which is a good trait a lot of other people unfortunately would rather drag their kids into the ground before they listened "to another person tell me how to raise my kids" anyway.. like i said, this message is for everyone, not just parents food for thought for anyone listening i suppose if u try to be humble u will only be helping yourself u will know what criticism is warranted and what is unwarranted, just make sure to be real with yourself ya dig? peaCe
