Give life back to me

After watching the glass castle today, I was a little disgusted when I first saw it. It feels quite long. Is the protagonist's father a good father? Tell me in the first half, isn’t this just like my dad? He is extremely powerful and tall, tells us the wonderful unknown world, and even the father in the movie knows children better and is more affectionate. Very young children appreciate this exciting and fun life. But in the second half, the children have seen the truth when they grow up. The gift of the stars is just a good empty check, and the glass castle is also a lie from Dad. The parents just wanted their children to go around their knees, but they didn't think that their children would have other identities in the future besides being their children. They have their own lives. Children do not want to be bound by their parents' own wishes, and believe in the bright future of living in the glass castle one day. That's not what we want, and the lives of children are much more than that. They have their own lives.

Sometimes it is difficult to get rid of these. After all, parents are at least twenty years older than us. They are good at using these twenty years of experience to speak out, and rely on this incomparably to build prestige and become our parents. . We should also forgive that they have some concepts different from ours and even force us to implement them. Some parents will feel that when I reach this age, I have lived to this day, without worrying about food and clothing, can prove that the trajectory I have walked can always guide my children to the same success; or, I have met those successful people , I think their life is a good template, if my children do the same, then I will be proud of them. These are right, but not all. At least it is because people are different from each other, to values, education, friends, and as far as personal ideals.

Of course, some people are convinced, some disagree, and some hate it. People who are convinced may become X treasures. People who disagree may not even know whether they have walked out of the glass castle built by their parents. People who hate it may be successful, or they may fall apart shortly after they walked out of the house.

We should think about these issues on our own. Parents give us suggestions, pointing out what should not be done, and the road should not be taken. And the right way should be explored by ourselves.

I once asked my mother, will the assistant sister of your company always be an assistant? The mother said: Her husband works for five to six thousand a month, and her daughter is in elementary school. She picks up a child after work, cooks a meal, and lives in a house she bought. Maybe they are just like this. Later, I met another person. The aunt who made omelette downstairs was good at craftsmanship and had a good business, but I didn't ask anyone if she would continue to create warm and fruity delicacies throughout her life.

Although the life of such homeless parents is not worth mentioning, I hope that children can always rest assured of their parents' self-confidence and courage.
