The connect
A relationship is a connection between two individuals. All relationships thrive on inter-dependence. Some are sturdier than others. These are the long-term bonds, and they often involve emotions. Now, that is where the catch is. Emotions, trust, commitment, attachment, and dependence all form the building blocks of relationships. But sentiments if tampered with, can act as weak links of the interpersonal dyad, which may break the connection if the stress and the associated emotive trauma become agonizing. Connects are precious and yet so hard to sustain.
See the checklist below if any of these
are your wants:
- My kids mustn’t scream
- Children should listen to us
- They should follow my directions
- Kids should respect their elders always
- I shouldn't have to repeat things to them
- They should understand and do the right
thing
If you’ve ticked 3 or more of these
(Most will tick all 6), you have some unrealistic expectations from your children.
Just like you should not put on weight and your spouse should always understand
that you are doing so much for them and your boss should know how hard you work
and give you a raise, likewise your kids should do all that you want them to
do. How easy is that to expect and how impossible is it to obtain?
