Worn Out

I'm feeling quite tired of pleasing what my parents want me to do, how I should react in every situation, to be more mature, to have a good time management, to take care of my health and the list just goes on. I appreciate that they're doing doing this to train me to be a more mature person. But, I'm already doing my very best to please them in every way that I can. I feel super fed up, I feel so tired, so pressured. All these while just a handful of praises, saying a "well done" or even a "good" in anything I do. Family is such an important item in each one's life. No doubt, I really love my family. I will always try to lighten their burden and gain their trust in everything I do. However, it just seems to be nothing to them. It's either that they don't see or they just won't tell. I believe that there are people facing the same problem as I do. I really pray that parents will be more loving and caring in a gentle way and also to teach their children in a more direct yet comforting way instead of an indirect and harsh way.
The Lord is our Heavenly Father and He is the most perfect model of what parents should be. I pray that parents will not deal with their children based on their experience, how other parents deal with their children and based on how they feel.
As children of earthly parents, I pray that we will be able to understand our parents more despite of the generation gap. We should react to our parents' dealing based on what a child should be, instead of following how our peers react.
I really pray that every problems in every family, whether conflicts between parents or children; or parents with children, will make the family bond stronger instead of weakening it. Because, family is an important item in each person's life.
