Poor Parenting Has No Cure – The Damage Is Done

If I woke you up today and told you that poor parenting has no cure, would you believe me?

See, once a child becomes an adult, there is no reset button, no quick-fix rehabilitation program, and no magic wand to undo years of bad parenting. The damage is already done. But here’s what’s funny – most parents only realize this when their 25-year-old, 30-year-old, or even 40-year-old child is failing in life.

At this point, what do they do? Look for external solutions instead of questioning their own role in the problem. They rush to send them to the army, to church, to therapy, or to correctional facilities, expecting a miracle. But do they ever stop to ask:

➡️ How did my child get to this point?
➡️ What kind of upbringing did I give them?
➡️ Did I teach them responsibility, discipline, and resilience?
➡️ Did I always say “yes” when I should have said “no”?

You cannot spoil a child for 18+ years and expect society to fix them in 6 months.

Parenting is not just about providing food, shelter, and school fees—it’s about molding character, instilling values, and preparing them for real life. The consequences of poor parenting don’t show up in childhood; they explode in adulthood. And by then, it’s too late.

So, dear parents, your biggest role is not just to “provide” but to raise children who can function without you. Because trust me, poor parenting has no cure.
