In this era of globalization, parents are getting busier at their working place,etc. Therefore, they couldn't spend so much time with their children. Many young people have problems relating with their family members. Allow me to try to pinpoint some attitudes and feelings towards members of the family which hamper good relationships, and see how these can be remedied. Firstly, do you feel your parents don't love you or care for you? Do you expect your parents to be like other parents that you know, and you are upset that they are not? Try to understand that people express they love and care in many different ways. You have to know that your parents actually do love their children, but express it not in ways their children expect them to. They may show by working hard to provide for the family or by preparing the meals, or by staying up late at night waiting for the children to come home. Hence, learn to see and appreciate their efforts and accept your parents as they are. Secondly, do you feel your parents favor your brother or sister? This may or may not be true. It may be that your brother or sister is more responsible, and more helpful around the house. Perhaps he likes to be with your parents and spends more time with them than you do. My question to you is have you any chores at home which you gladly do to please parents? Are you always available and wiling to run errands for your parents? Well, even if your parents favor your brother or sister for no reason at all, you should show your parents that you love them. God's commandment that you should "honor your father and your mother" is without a comdition. Thirdly, do you you value your peers more than your family? There are several possible reasons why many young people treat their friends far better than their own family. Some go through an identity crisis at this age, so they look to their peers and other groups for affirmation. Some look in other people for traits they want to see in their family. No matter what happen, they are still your parents. Honor them as how you honor God!! These are few ways you can be helpful. a)Take the initiative to do household chores. You can help in preparing meals, clean the house, etc. Consider these tasks not as obligations but OPPORTUNITIES for Christian witness. b)Be a responsible son or daughter. Whenever your parents entrust you with a task, do it well and with a glad heart. In conclusion, God's very nature is love. As His followers, let us full our homes with love. Let God manifest through you the fragrance of the knowledge of Him in every place(2 Corinthians 2:14).
