My Experience as a Daughter / Mi experiencia como hija

in Hive Learnersyesterday

Although this seems to be a topic more directed at parents, I would like to offer my point of view as a daughter.

First, I want to clarify that this is more of a reflection and not a reproach to my parents, who, like all parents, did not have an absolute manual on "How to Raise Children" and did the best they could with their life experience.

To provide a bit of context, my parents come from incomplete families: my father was raised by a single mother who only completed four years of primary school. My mother was raised by her paternal grandmother, as her father preferred to marry a virgin woman rather than the mother of his two children.

It is evident that our upbringing leaves deep-seated experiences and lessons in us, and of course, some traumas.

In my particular experience, I believe it would have been more enriching for my development if my parents had been helicopter parents. They had their own concept of independence and freedom, especially my mother, who was the most present in our upbringing.

My parents gave us excessive freedom and autonomy and set few limits and rules. I remember, for example, that I always defended my point of view and my truth, even with adults, which was supported by my parents. I must admit that I always had a sense of justice and never allowed injustice, even if it meant standing up to adults.

Of course, for a child to "argue" with an adult instead of obeying or staying silent, even when the adult is wrong, is a sign of poor upbringing because "one must respect their elders."

I believe this shaped my personality, making me a person who does not conform to social rules and hierarchies. This caused frequent clashes throughout my life and a reputation as "problematic."

I also would have liked them to be more involved in my education, but because I was naturally a good student, without them demanding it, I think it gave them a false sense that it wasn't necessary.

If they had been helicopter parents, I believe they would have better exploited our potential and chosen better educational institutions for us. For example, they focused on primary education and sent us to a private Catholic school, which was good because public education in my country is quite poor.

But curiously, they thought secondary education was less important and enrolled us in a public night school! At 13 years old, leaving school at 10 p.m. was not a good idea, even though it was less than 10 kilometers from home.

At this point, I think they failed in their judgment because, being honor roll students, they could have sent us to high-performing technical schools. There were even a couple of public schools we could have gotten into without any problem.

That's why I believe it's much better to be a helicopter parent and get involved and plan, if possible, every stage of a child's life, especially their human and academic development.

But I repeat, I fully understand that being a parent is not easy, especially when you didn't have role models in your life, but today, as before, the world is full of dangers and challenges that cannot be overcome without the vigilance and help of parents.

Perhaps my experience as a daughter has marked me in such a way that I decided at a very young age that I would not have children or get married, and here I am, single and childless at 45 years old, still thinking my life would have been better if my parents had made better decisions regarding raising their children. *

Aunque este parece ser un tema más bien dirigido a padres y madres, no quisiera dejar de aportar mi punto de vista como hija.

En principio quisiera aclarar que esto es más bien una reflexión y no un reproche a mis padres, que como todos padres, no tenían el manual absoluto de "Cómo criar hijos" e hicieron lo mejor que pudieron con su experiencia de vida.

Para poner un poco de contexto, mis padres proceden de familias incompletas: mi padre fue educado por una madre soltera que cursó apenas 4 años de escuela primaria. Mi madre fue criada por su abuela paterna, ya que su padre prefirió casarse con una mujer vírgen, y no con la madre de sus dos hijos.

Es evidente que nuestra crianza deja impresos en nosotros experiencias y aprendizajes a niveles muy profundos, y por supuesto algún que otro trauma.

En mi experiencia particular, creo que hubiera sido más enriquecedor para mi formación si mis padres hubieran sido padres helicópteros. Ellos tenían un concepto propio de la independencia y la libertad, en especial mi madre, que fue la más presente en nuestra crianza.

Mis padres nos dieron una excesiva libertad y autonomía, y marcaron pocos límites y normas. Recuerdo por ejemplo, que yo siempre defendía mi punto de vista y mi verdad incluso con los adultos, lo que era apoyado por mis padres. Debo reconocer que siempre tuve un sentido de la justicia y que nunca permitía que se obrara en contra de ella, aunque eso significara responder a los adultos.

Por supuesto que un niño "discuta" a un adulto en lugar de obedecerlo o callarse aunque esté diciendo algo que no corresponde, para ellos es señal de mala educación porque "hay que respetar a los mayores".

Creo que eso modeló mi personalidad haciendo que sea una persona que no se ciñe a las reglas sociales y a las jerarquías. Esto me ocasionó frecuentes desencuentros durante mi vida, y una reputación de "problemática".

También me hubiera gustado que hayan estado mas involucrados en mi educación, pero por haber sido una buena alumna de forma natural, sin que ellos me lo hayan exigido, creo que les dió una falsa sensación de que no era necesario.

Si hubieran sido padres helicópteros, creo que hubieran explotado nuestro potencial, de buena forma, y hubieran elegido mejor los centros educativos para nosotros. Por ejemplo, ellos se centraron en la primaria, y nos enviaron a una escuela privada de monjas católicas, lo cual fue bueno, porque la educación pública en mi país es bastante mala.

Pero curiosamente pensaron que la educación secundaria era menos importante, y nos inscribieron en un colegio público nocturno! A los 13 años estar saliendo del colegio a las 22 horas no creo que haya sido una buena idea, aunque quedara a poco menos de 10 kilómetros de la casa.

En este punto es que creo que fallaron en su criterio, porque siendo todos alumnos del cuadro de honor, bien pudieron habernos enviado a colegios técnicos de buen rendimiento. Incluso había un par de colegios públicos a los que hubiéramos ingresado sin problemas.

Por eso creo, que es mucho mejor ser un padre o madre helicóptero, e involucrarse y planificar si es posible cada etapa en la vida de los hijos, en especial su formación humana y académica.

Pero repito, entiendo perfectamente que ser padres no es fácil, y mucho menos cuando no tuviste ejemplos en tu vida, pero hoy día, al igual que antes, el mundo está lleno de peligros y desafíos, que no pueden ser sorteados sin la vigilancia y ayuda de los padres.

Tal vez mi experiencia como hija, me haya marcado de tal forma, que decidí de muy pequeña que no tendría hijos, ni me casaría, y aquí estoy, soltera y sin hijos a los 45 años, pensando aún que mi vida hubiera sido mejor si mis padres hubiesen tomado mejores decisiones respecto a la crianza de sus hijos.

Sort:  

Obviously, parents should control a certain degree of what their kids do because they are more experienced in the workings of life. Where the freedom is necessary are in some little things that aids growth, like problem solving. Leaving a child to do it all in the name of freedom negates whatever gain there is to make from it.

You're absolutely right!

Es interesante también ese punto de vista como hija, normalmente hay mucha temática de la crianza de hijos, pero pocas veces se pregunta la opinión a los hijos. Y lo que dices es cierto, en muchos casos, hay buena intención y lo hicieron lo mejor que supieron, tampoco antes había tanta información como hay en redes ahora por ejemplo, pero claro... en todo caso se condiciona la vida de los hijos, que tendrán que tirar "pa'lante" como sea. Un abrazo amiga 🤗

Verdad, pero normalmente como hijos, nos damos cuenta ya de adultos de las cosas que debieron ser de otra forma, pero al final nunca se sabe, conocí un muchacho cuyos padres pudieron costearle el ir a estudiar a La Sorbona y él se deprimió! Yo en esa etapa no tuve tiempo de deprimirme entre el trabajo a tiempo completo para ir a la universidad a la noche. Pero bueno, cada persona es un mundo, y no hay receta mágica, aunque en mi caso, ojalá me hubieran puesto más límites, sobre todo en cuanto el carácter 😂

Someone wants freedom in life and someone doesn't need it , we all are different in our point of view but from your post i only get understand that everything should be good in limit 🙏

Hello! Thanks for passing by, and yes, normally people want a lot of things, but not all that people want is good, in the case of children, I guess there is not the appropriate age to have absolute freedom because is the time to learning. But I agree that all should have a balance ⚖️

Creo que te entiendo perfectamente. Por diferentes razones, mis padres estuvieron un poco ausentes durante mi verdadera educación. En realidad, solo hicieron algo cuando vieron que estaba fracasando en la escuela secundaria. Finalmente, mi padre se sentó conmigo a estudiar. Tenía 15 o 16 años en ese momento... No sabía estudiar, especialmente matemáticas, ya que nadie nunca me enseñó. Bueno, aprendí muchas cosas por mi cuenta en mi vida, cuando haces eso, fracasas muchas veces hasta que encuentras la mejor manera. También me sentí abandonada de alguna manera en muchos momentos de mi juventud.

Parece ser una cuestión generacional, es como si los padres evitan hacer lo que sus padres hicieron con ellos y se van al extremo opuesto, y es un bucle jeje...

This perspective is very interesting, children and parents generally have different views on life and the world. I liked your approach.
