Friends > Parents?

Is it true that friends are more important than parents?
If I ask, most people will answer NO!
However, sometimes it’s just shameful to see how different we treat friends than parents.

Situation 1:

A)
Mum: Boy ah, can you help me get something from the grocery store ah?
Boy: Ma, lazy la, go get it yourself k?! Or haih, buy what again larrr???

B)
Girlfriend: Darling ah, i feel like eating tou fu fa all of a sudden la...
Boy: okie, no problem, I’ll get you tou fu fa within spilt seconds!


Situation 2:

A)
Mum: Boy ah, lets go shopping lo, it’s been a decade since I last shopped.. T_T
Boy: urrmm.. Ma, I got tonnes of homework laa, I’m sorry....

B)
Friend: Woi Boy, tonight yam cha ON?
Boy: ON!!!! Where? Where! Where? Time?!


Situation 3:

A)
Friend: hey, how did you celebrate father’s day ah?
Boy: aiyo, no need celebrate la, waste money, now broke adi you know?!

B)
Friend: hey, how did you celebrate your girlfriend’s birthday ah?
Boy: ooohhH, I bought her LV, GUCCI, PRADA and a pair of NIKE shoes. =)


Situation 4:

A)
Friend: When is your dad’s birthday ah?
Boy: urm... September 22? Erm, no i think October 22.. aiyaa I don’t remember laaaa

B)
Friend: When is your girlfriend’s birthday ah?
Boy: 10 November 1990! I’m freaking sure!!!!!

Many many more.....

You might find it funny, but somehow that’s just the reality...
Sometimes, you find it hard to communicate with parents,
Everytime you talk to them, it will just end up with a quarrel
so you rather don’t talk/ talk less to them.
But think again, why?
Did you treat them the way you treat your friends?
Are you being patient enough with them?
Is the way you talk appropriate?
Did you show understanding for your parents?

At times, you can be very forgiving to friends,
You can forgive them for whatever wrong they did to you,
But sometimes you just can’t stand your parents for asking you to do something you don’t like to do;
Then you can angry at them for one whole day.

I think it's really unfair this way...
We definitely can’t deny the fact that they the one who brought us to this world,
So, be forgiving, respectful, understanding, caring, loving, and patience to them just like how you always treat your friends....
