Friend or Parent

In this day and time, most moms and dads are more concerned with being their children's friend instead of their parent. Nevertheless, this kind of relationship with your children causes the parents to live in fear of their children not liking them as a friend. As a result, you start living by the rules your children set  for you. In other words,  let us stop trying to give our children everything they want; and let us see if we can come together, as parents, to give our children at least some of what they need. By teaching them stuff like, morals, respect, gratitude, selflessness, and not to mention, how to become a functional human being in todays society, and not a statistic.
