No one is given an operating manual on parenting. Sure there are books that guide, provide insight, have stories, talk about different styles etc. But nope, no manual. Bad behaviour from child? Bad parent Child who is difficult to mold or teach? Bad parent Child suicide? Bad parent Child -anything the world judges or sees as not conforming? Bad parent And in a place like India, it's usually bad mom. Because mothers are primary caregivers and nurturers. So what happened to the other parental role and grandparents and relatives who also influenced the child's behaviour? What happened to the educational institutions that seem more bothered about their upkeep of reputation rather than actual investment in educating children? What all is just one person or 2 people supposed to do when it comes to their child? They try their best to do right by their offspring. But yeah, bad parent!
