I grew up in Punjab India, and I never once questioned my mother's income or my father's!! It was never a discussion. 🙆♀️We ate homemade meals (which was not an optional choice).🙆♀️ We didn't talk unless told to, hence we were known as the silent generation. We never touched anything that did not belong to us.🙆♀️ We never opened a refrigerator at anyone's house unless asked to do so.🙆♀️ We were taught to respect other people's property. And we were rewarded for acting properly.🙋♀️We grew up during a time when we did odd jobs and helped with all chores. 🙋♀️We by no means were given everything we wanted. We went outside a lot to play, run with friends, play hide and seek, or go bike riding.🙋♀️ We rarely just sat inside. Bottled water was unheard of. If we had a soft drink, it was in a glass bottle, and we didn’t break the bottle when finished. We saved the bottle for the return money.🙋♀️We had to tell our parents where we were going, who we were going with, and be home before dark.🙆♀️ We LEARNED from our parents instead of disrespecting them and treating them as if they knew absolutely nothing. What they said was LAW and we /you did not question it and you had better know it!🙆♀️ We watched what we said around our elders and neighbors because we knew if we DISRESPECTED any grown-up, we would get a real good whooping, it wasn't called abuse, it was called discipline! 🤷♀️We held the doors for others and carried the shopping into the house. We gave up our seats for an older person without being asked.🙆♀️ You didn't hear swear words on the radio, in songs, or on TV.“Please" and "Thank you" were part of our daily vocabulary!🙋♀️The world we live in now is just so full of people who hate and disrespect others. Friends, consider Re-posting if you're thankful for your childhood. I will never forget where I came from and only wish children and people nowadays had half the chance at the fun and respect for real life we grew up with! And we were never bored!!! 🙆♀️🙋♀️🤷♀️
