So as I was walking I saw this ad for a new tv show. As you can see by the image the tag line is " hearing "I hate you!" and knowing you are doing something right". Now I don't know about you but I think this is the wrong message to be sending our kids and for parents to accept.
Maybe am a bit old but when I was young, if I would have ever told my mother that I hated her or anything that remotely had to do with her I would get a chancla to the back of my head and then feel remorse for saying something like that.
The 5th commandment of the 10 commandments instructs us to honor our parents to live long lives. If you have not notice this is the only commandment that has a promise attached to it. The fact of the matter is that we all want to live longer.
I don't know when this "I hate you" deal first came out but I do know that my mother deserves my respect, my honor and most of all my love.
As a parent myself, it would really pain me to hear my child tell me that she hates me. First because no parent really wants to hear that. Second because it reflects on my parenting skills and my relationship with her and lastly because it reflects her relationship, or lack there of, with God.
When you drive a child to say "I hate you" there should be warning signs, bells and whistles and bull horns going of in your head all at the same time. The bible teaches us to rear our children in Gods word, to listen to them, to respect them and to not exasperate them. Ephesians 6:4
In the same manner we should respect, honor, listen and accept the advice of our parents. Proverbs 1:8 4:1
So if you ever hear you child say that, stop and examine yourself and then you need to examine your relationship with your child.
This have been a public service announcement brought to you by One to kunstruct on... Lol
