Up until now, many parents have sacrificed everything for their children by working hard from scratch, working hard or doing business from scratch, “eating without starving”, and saving hard until they have accumulated wealth to leave as a legacy for their children. In the end, you have to sacrifice yourself.
This is not a unique thing for Cambodian society, and to this day, many parents still have such views and ideas. But even so, don’t sacrifice too much, be patient and take the opportunity to find some happiness. Be careful of the 4 phrases that are currently popular and shared on social media. The phrase that was shared is a joke, but this joke sharing also contains truth and reality.
What are the meanings of these four phrases? What are the reasons that need to be shared? Up until now, the reasons why many parents have been trying to save money and not dare to travel are: 1. Saving money for their children, waiting for them to finish school and travel, 2. When their children finish school, they will have a husband and wife, 3. They will start having grandchildren and have to take care of them, 4. When they get old and leave, they will still be waiting for the house. From what we understand, these four sentences are really social realities that reflect two main points. First, they scare middle-aged citizens who are parents or those who have just started building a family that, in addition to working hard to save and increase their wealth, they should also spend some or a portion of it to find happiness for themselves.
Usually, when starting a family, saving money is a priority, but it is not a matter of not daring to spend on traveling and eating properly. Our lives are unpredictable. So while we are still alive, in addition to working hard to raise our children, we should know how to create fun programs according to our interests. We should also consider and adjust the materials according to our resources. And what is important, in addition to working hard to save for our children, is to also adjust the price for ourselves, to reserve some in case our children or children-in-law are not happy.
Secondly, children who are the successors should understand and know about the sacrifices of their parents who have worked hard to raise them from infancy until they grow up to be educated, have jobs, and have their own wealth. So don’t forget them. When you have a job, a family, you should also take the time to take your parents out for a walk or do this and that. Don’t use the excuse of being busy and not only not paying attention to them, but instead taking on the burden, that is, the child, and not paying attention to them anymore. We all need to remember that until today, each parent has made a lot of sacrifices, so when they are in their last days, they should not take on the burden on them. But if he is willing, he should also set aside time or know how to arrange and take his parents here and there to make things look different.
Total of these four sentences is a joke. But it is a message that inspires all of us to think and plan our family carefully.
In general, family planning is about income, expenses, and savings, and it fills the gaps. In cases where parents and children understand each other, the family is happy and prosperous. Parents make sacrifices for their children, and if the children are kind to them, it is a noble act that we should pay attention to.
