our era difference

Going back in time today evokes so many memorable factors.the days are long gone when my dad was the head of the house and mama the head of a large household of 11 children,a husband,neighbourkids and the walkin relatives.there was so much order or was it more a gestapo regime of upbringing.all around the community were plenty of friends and an abundance of games to be played.today we as adults somehow cant seem to be so very multitask as our moms were,despite the many offspring.yes we bake,cook,clean and so many other task thrown in yet the difference between our children and theirs is phenomenal.there,s many factors that may contribute to this.were they maybe strick or as i many a times,during my youth thought they were rather evil,to a certain extend,in their or else...manner of punishment.spanking were priority on every moms list...we truely had a great fear of them.how good or bad a parent did their kids turnout to be? have we tried being more lenient,show more love and give more hugs.speaking of hugs,it really took long to catch on this demonstrative way of showing love...was well trained by my own offspring who so spontaneously showed affection.so glad that today this comes naturally.though many a times i overheard my own saying...mom can be so boring,no sense of humour...then i would come out with the most hilarious of jokes or silly acts,which would be to their annoyance.so my youth cannot by far be compared to todays youth.
