How to love your Parents.

We all are guilty of not paying enough attention to our birth givers. We tend to get lost in our lives, with questions like how do I earn more? or get a girlfriend/boyfriend? or get over my break-up? We question ourselves often that Are we pretty enough? Do people love me? If I die will anyone miss me? Well, I don’t know about the world but our parents will always love us no matter what, give us more than we ask for, think we are the prettiest person ever and do almost everything to protect us from the dangers of life.

So in the past few years, I have realized that out of all things that I am striving for right now none of them will matter if I don’t have my parents by my side to celebrate my achievements, enjoy the good times. I don’t want to regret not taking care of them or losing the time when I could have made them realize how much I love them. So here are a few ways we can express to our parents that we love them more than anything or anyone, also this will help you to impress them if you need them to agree on some difficult topics.

We tend to think that our achievements are the only way we can make our parents happy, let them know that we are valuable in our society, or get them a big house, expensive things. But we forget that it is also the everyday effort that counts and is the aggregate of their happiness. Small things like calling them every week or every day (if anyone has that consistency), spending time doing what they like, cooking for them, listening to those old stories again and again only to make them feel heard.

2. Taking care of their health

We are all grown-ups and our parents have been taking care of themselves for years, so why do we need to think about them? Well because they are getting OLD. With time they are going to lose their teeth, bone density, hair, develop health issues, their skin will become loose. And they are not going to have the same energy levels as before while we were growing up. So things like making sure their diet is healthy, booking their clinic appointments, or accompanying them if possible. Asking them about their physical and mental problems will help them and make their life a little bearable.

3. Making them feel heard.

We all feel appreciated when we have people to talk to, who can give us their time, their attention, and empathy. Our parents might not know if we have the time to talk to them so they might try a few times to reach you but will realize you are too busy. So it is really important to let them speak their mind. Encourage them to make new friends so they can talk about their problems.

4. Encourage them to continue their lost hobbies.

We all know that parenthood changes life 360 degrees. All new parents can think of is how to manage time. And then that becomes a habit, they lose themselves somewhere. So now when they have some time, they can spend time playing golf or going to museums or other things they used to like but never had time for.

5. Give your time to them.

Well, time is money but parents are life. So don’t you think that it is fine if you were not able to meet them this Christmas or Diwali or your yearly important festival. Give them a party on their birthdays, something that makes them feel special and important.

To end this note for my mom I have to make sure I wash dishes or cook for her, take interest in her fashion, beauty. For dad, I just listen to his stories and try to act as if I want more. It is difficult to do these things but I love them. So what do you do to make them happy?
