The Silent Sacrifice of Daughters: How Parents Fail to See the Pain Their Girls Quietly Endure Every Day

Parents never want their children to suffer any pain because of them. But still, many times they unknowingly say or do something that hurts their children a lot. Especially daughters, who often hide their feelings. They do not say what has hurt them very quickly. They tolerate everything silently. They do not say anything, thinking that their parents might feel bad. But this does not mean that they do not feel pain.

In this sequence, today we are going to talk about these 5 habits of those parents, which may seem common to the parents but hurt the daughters a lot from within – they just cannot speak.

Discrimination

Now it is said that there is no difference between a boy and a girl. Both son and daughter are the same. But the reality is that some parents themselves unknowingly behave in such a way that daughters feel that there is still a difference between them and their brother. For example, this career is good for your brother, not for you… 'If you are going somewhere, take your brother along, etc.' Such things hurt girls a lot.

My Son, My Rock

Often some parents unknowingly say that 'son is the only support of the house; you are a stranger…one day you will get married and go away.' On hearing all this, many times they want to say a lot that it is not like that, Mummy-Papa. I also want to do something for you people, but I am unable to say it because they feel that no one will listen to them, and then girls keep suffocating inside with this thought. But there is a lot of pain in that silence.

When Your Decisions Aren't Valued

In some houses, when daughters express their opinion – about studies, career, or just say that they want to go somewhere – then often their words are taken lightly. But if the son of the house says the same thing, then not only are his words listened to carefully, but it is also given importance. Wishes have no importance.
This is where the daughter starts feeling that her wishes have no importance. After being ignored repeatedly, she slowly stops speaking and learns to remain silent. But this silence is not of helplessness but of broken trust.

The Importance of Learning Household Responsibilities

Often some parents tell their daughters that you are a girl and you should know how to do household chores. Such things make daughters feel that no matter how much they study, dream, or think big, there is no use. Everyone will only expect them to take care of the house; their dreams have no value.

Common Parenting Mistakes to Avoid

Parents should understand that even things said unknowingly leave a deep impact on the hearts of children. Therefore, they should be very cautious that they do not make any such mistake, which makes the daughter feel that her feelings, opinions or wishes do not matter.
