There is a saying 
“Matru Devo Bhava…Pitru Devo Bhava”
It just means that revere Mother & Father as God. It’s very difficult to define the role of father or mother.
But today’s children perception towards there parents has changed. Especially when children grow young and have their family, the story is completely different, as their parents become old. The new genera think that parents are a big trouble to them. There love towards their parents starts declining with the time.
They try to overlook their parents and their needs. They are so busy in their schedule that they even forget to pay attention towards their old parents. They never try to understand this the time their parents need more attention and love from them. They do forget that their thoughts are similar to like a small child, which needs constant attention of every one near to it. They do forget that their parents have lot of dreams, which are needed to be filled. They do even forget that these (parents) were the one who took care of them when they were small, they do forget how much time their parents spent on them and how much sacrifices there parents made for them.
Are these things to be explained to new genera and should they be forced to take care & provide extreme love to their parents??? Or the old parents to be sent to old age homes????
Don’t ever forget, we (young generation) have to cross the same phase in our life.
