Has it ever crossed your mind that what you’re experiencing now isn’t what you want your kids to be experiencing or exposed to?

• Reporting their lives on Facebook and twitter.
• We used to have cool cartoons (remember popeye? I thought eating spinach could actually made me that strong, cmon I’m sure you did too) on TV and play with other kids in the neighborhood. Now, it’s all on Androids, iPhones’ and any other smartphone.
• Even show’s on TV is getting pretty ridiculous? Reality shows from the US. “16 and pregnant”??!?!
• I’m sure you could name a few.

Perhaps you could say it’s the outlook of the individual. Some would say sharing on facebook is a good way to know what friends are up to, but who sets what should be shared and what should not?

IT era? Does that kids should be oblivious on how things were in the past? Come to think of it, don’t parents always like to talk about how they grew up and what they experience. Hahaha!

There are bad things you can experience and pay a small price for it. We are always told what is good and bad but somethings, learning through making the mistakes gives us understanding. Put it this way:

Parents: Don’t touch the kettle it hot!
Us: *Touches* OWWW! *Immediately pull hands away*
Parents: I told you!

Then you learn that hot things hurt and maybe you get away with small burns that will heal in a day or so. But what about:

• Smoking, which you will almost never feel till many years ahead?
• Pre-marital sex?
• Modern-day relationships?
• Homosexuality? It’s common nowadays no? Personally and in my opinion, I will never accept homosexuality (Doesn’t mean I’ll treat you with indifference). It’s an opinion, we all have our views. So we can agree to disagree.
• Saving money? Any money woes? Who do we always turn to?
• Speeding or unhealthy eating habits?

I’m a hypocrite. We can always talk about being perfect but at least I’m aiming to do what I think is right and wrong, Allah guide me.

So much to say that you can only type out in words. Lets go out and have chat!
