I wish to share my experience on this from my life. It is not only the way they praise other's children but deny us to do things, but also deny us to do things generally stating "What others will think about us". And conveniently they quote themselves as "Orthodox" for this type of behavior.

I am an Engineering Graduate with Master Degree. I even scored many awards in my school and college but not greatly appreciated by my parents at that time. I was denied anything asked for stating the famous quote "What others will think." Even my younger brother did not understood me at that time. I was crushed on my life time dream to travel onsite for my career stating unmarried girls should not travel alone and after marriage get your husband's permission to travel. And now that had become a dream that will never come true.

Travelling to new places and proving myself to go to the top position in life is my ambition right from my age of 15. Now after 20 years, I still regret that will never happen I my life, which is like a constant blow to my heart.

Now after seeing my brother travelling and succeeding in his career, my parents are regretting their actions but I am not able to accept their regret. I am still loving them, but can never forget that I am no able stop feeling as if I am constant failure in life. I have never told this to them, cause still I cannot bear to see them regret further. But still how can you stop the feeling that suddenly crush you in middle of any work you are doing and feeling as if you are suffocating. I don't think I can overcome that feeling till the end.

But I have decided that I will never do that to my daughters, so that they will pursue whatever they wish in life. And they are succeeding themselves in academics as well as their area of interest. They almost tried all the extra curricular activities available in my city and finally found their real interest. And I am happy to help them pursuing it. I even make them to participate in any competition so they get a feel of game spirit. And to get a general idea of winning or losing is not important but participation and giving your 100% on it.
