You and I were once husband and wife;
Then
You became a mother and I remained a father
You managed the household. I managed the livelihood.
And then you
She became a “stay-at-home mother” and I remained a breadwinner father.
You hugged the children when they got hurt. I explained what happened.
You became a loving mother and I remained only an understanding father.
Children made mistakes, you became an “understanding mom” by supporting them and me
He became a “non-understanding” father.
By saying “Dad will be angry”, you became the “best friend” of your children. And I was left as an angry father.
All day long, you made your home in the children’s minds, keeping your future safe.
And I went on ruining my today just to make the future of the house.
Mother’s love began to be seen in your tears and I remained only a ruthless father in the eyes of the children.
You became the moonlight of the moon and I don’t know when I became a father emitting fire like the sun.
You became a “merciful and compassionate mother” and I remained only a father to bear the burden of life for all of you.
This is a very bitter social picture.
- Very few mothers will be found who exalt the position of their father in front of their children, who tell the children how their father starves his children by feeding them the bread in front of them. How a father fights all day for the sustenance of his children. What sacrifices and sufferings he faces for the better future of his children – how he destroys himself to make them stand on their feet, destroys himself. Then the children will be able to go somewhere.*
- But the mothers who tell and explain this to their children are not able to tell them this. That is why the children do not understand this until they become fathers themselves and by then it is too late.*
