There is always a conflict between old parents and ambitious juniors especially in Asian country. This may result to- sending parents to old-age home or compromising ambitions by juniors. So, what do you think about this problem. Who is more responsible? how can this be managed?

(It's just my opinion)

The cycling process of giving birth, being young, getting married and again giving birth is natural. Even animals do the same things and I don't thing there is a big deal in it. But in a way as a superior human being we are failing to realsize the importance of being human and that we are here to prove ourself as a human.

Every parents talk and educate their children on the basis of their own experiences. The differences in generation gap is another problem. Asian county is now developing technologically rather than with strong culture and religious beliefs. People are now realizing that career is more important than anything else in their life. Competition is so tough that one cannot take rest for a moment and if he/she do so, opportunity is lost.

Asian society is now developing into nuclear family. I believe that parents are not giving enough time to their children. Parents want their children to read and hear stories of ghost and fairy tales through computer and television. There is little connection in between heart and love in their relationship. Thus parents fail to educate their children the importance of love and in this circumstances children also realize that self ambition, happiness and goals is more important.

As parents don't have time for their children in their young age likewise children don't have time for their parents in their old age...

But parents tries there best to up bring there children and they also invest maximum for the education of children. And they are also expecting so much for their children. So what about their exception and the investments and Love?

Yes, parents do best for their children in building them up. But why do parents fail to realize that it is not the way to educate children without making them realize that they are a part of a family and that their money and hardship should be valued. If children cannot understand what their parents are doing for them then it is very hard to make a bond between parents and their children. I have myself experienced that so many of my friends don't like our festivals and our festivals is one of the important factor to make bond with family and society as well. Parents also let their children do whatever they like and they just want to make sure that their children are doing good on their studies and that's all. So these things make parents hopes and expectations same as pouring water on the sand and nothing else. Another thing is that, the word "freedom" have so much voilated today's generation that age of innocence is fading in children. The word freedom is being misused to the extent that there is contradiction between parents and their children views of seeing and understanding life differently.
