Your Behaviour Towards Relatively Uneducated Parents

The parent-child relationship is the most unconditionally loving relationship in this world. When parents raise their child, they selflessly give the best they can for their child, irrespective of the hardships they have to face in the process. All they want in return for the huge investment of time, money and effort is their children to be successful and happy and give them respect and love.

Education Vs. Knowledge

In earlier times, people barely use to opt for graduation. So, there are a lot of chances that your parents are not holding as many degrees as you are. But this in no way means that they are anything less than when it comes to knowledge. Education is not just having degrees and certificates, but how one sails through life. If you’ve grown up with parents who were not very educated, you would surely have seen how their experiences and suggestions helped get through the toughest of times.

People who are not very educated, learn at the school called Life, and have a better perspective and a better outlook. They are aware of the ground reality of things and not mere bookish knowledge. Hence, their solutions are generally better and help you come out triumphant from all problems.

Technology Vs. Values

Growing up with not very qualified parents, isn’t as bad as it sounds. The prime problem people face in such situations is that their parents are not very well-versed with the new technologies and take time to learn the use of new gadgets and all. But, that shouldn’t be a problem, as technology keeps advancing and what’s latest today will become obsolete tomorrow. On the brighter side, your parents will give you invaluable tricks, tips, and moral values which you might never ever find in the most expensive gifts.

But, when you’re blessed with these “simple and old-school” parents, never look down upon them. Rather, help them get used to of your world and new things than always citing generation gap as the reason for your indifference. Do not lose patience when you’re teaching them something new or making them understand your perspective. They never did give up on understanding you, when you couldn’t talk or walk. Things were very different in their times and will be when you’ll be parents. Treat them as you’d want to be treat them when you’ll be in their shoes. As their child, it is your responsibility that they feel loved and respected by you. You should not give anyone the liberty to insult or talk low about them, just because they ain’t very educated. Never see them as burden on you, see them as family. They are the reason you’ve achieved whatever you have and can boast of being so educated. Love them, like they did- unconditionally. They are a blessing value them.
