Parenthood.

Parenthood is something, which gives you thought for thinking through out your life. First of all, if you become parents after intense desire, you can value its importance. Our Rishies say that you should get children after sincere prayer to God. I think such children, whom we get after prayers, are special ones. Parenthood is a great resposibility. Parents' duty in shaping a child's personality is more serious. It is no doubt that each parent feel and remain resposible till the tender age of their child/children. As a child grows, resposibility becomes less in degrees. A child grows, adopts some profession and [in India] gets married, parents' duty ends. But I feel that a parent's duty never ends. If children are grown-ups, parents can't preach or say hard words in front of them, but they continuously pray for their children's well being. This prayer never ends till the end of life. I mean to say that a parent keeps on praying for their chldren till death. Some says that it is continued even after their death.
