Today is " World Menopause Care Day "
When it comes to menopause, many people must think of their parents. As we grow up, our parents are slowly getting older. I don’t know when words such as “verbose”, “don’t worry”, and “I’m busy” have become our catchphrases and have become thorns that inadvertently hurt our parents.
When we meet menopause parents, we often complain about their nagging, irritability, and sensitivity, but we forget how long it has been since we carefully looked at their faces crawled by time and did not listen to their inner voices.
They are stubborn, but they are always the softest towards us
Ms. Zeng: One day, my mother quarreled with me and went out to relax, but when she got home, she still brought a strawberry cake that I usually like to eat. I often quarrel with my parents because of my nagging, and I often forget to care about them because of my busy work, and I don’t even know what my parents really like and need. However, parents can always remember their own preferences clearly.

Ms. Xu: I have a father who is "different from the inside" and said he would not buy anything for me, but in the end I bought it for me. Sometimes I get angry with my dad, but he will still send a message to me at night to tell me not to go home too late.

Sometimes parents may be stubborn and may not be good at expressing their emotions, but they are always soft-hearted to us. They have always done their best to hope to give us the best life. All trivial things can always pile up great warmth inadvertently, and what is hidden in it is not only the Qingyou of food, rice, oil and salt, but also the endless love of parents for their children.
They are so powerful, they are no longer omnipotent "superman"
Mr. Li: When I was in elementary school, my dad used bubbles to make me a very realistic "mobile " . At that time, I thought he was amazing. However, the updates and iterations of mobile phones are getting faster and faster, and my dad can't use many functions anymore. In the past, my computer at home was broken and it was repaired by my father, but now it’s my father who has changed it to me to “ask me”.

When we were young, we thought our parents were superhumans and could easily help us assemble various toys, carry desks, repair computers, carry luggage, beat cockroaches... everything was good. But time is always disobedient, it turns into white hair "sprouting" on parents' heads and wrinkles "painting" on parents' cheeks. They who were superhumans at the time will gradually fail to keep up with the pace of development of new things.
When we were young, we were full of curiosity about the world. We always held our parents' hands and asked questions. They would pat our heads pamperedly and answer our questions patiently. Nowadays, when parents are full of curiosity and discomfort with new things, we should also use the same patience to guide them to keep up with the pace of social changes and to experience the world when we grow up.

I once saw this sentence: The most expensive car I have ever taken is my father's shoulder; the most luxurious house I have ever lived in is my mother's belly.
Yes, love should be two-way. No matter whether parents are in menopause or have already passed menopause, we should care and understand them just like they love us. A greeting, an encouragement, and a hug are the best gifts for parents.
Three meals and four seasons, family sitting idle and lights are friendly, which is the best scene in this world.
