Parent of all problems!

In parenting, one’s negligence should not be overcompensated by other’s indulgence.     

……….

It is not required to do a ‘right’ for every ‘wrong’. This unnecessary itch to match every balance sheet doesn’t work well in life. At times, it is prudent to choose the apt time and proper way to balance ‘what wasn’t done’. And this is equally true for leadership, teaching, mentoring and most of all… parenting.

Well, unknowingly, at times parents vie for child’s affection, and often one takes another’s miss as a chance to tilt the balance. Due to this (and of course due to natural parental affection/concern), for one parent’s ‘not being there’, the other one overcompensates, and sows seeds for future problems.

……….

So, avoid overcompensating. One’s ‘negligence’ is best filled by other’s ‘attention’. That’s about it.
