What is a home

Home is a place where love and laughter fill the air, sitting with your family, sharing childhood memories. Our homes are a welcoming place where we play, sleep, eat, and live. Parents work hard to pay rent and make sure their children's needs are fulfilled. But not many parents can afford to buy toys every week for their kids. They throw away their own dreams so their children don't forget to live theirs, but not all children are grateful for their parents' sacrifices, who got them in the position they are in. They keep asking for more and more until they make their parents feel they are not working hard enough. When kids are between the ages of 10-16, they mostly want newly trending items like iPhones, make-up, designer clothes and much more, but while they are begging their parents for these things, they don't realize how hard their parents work and how much they spend on rent, groceries, school fees and way more. Not every kid is like this I personally think that home is not just drywall and bricks its love, peace, tranquility, and care we show to everyone around us and how much we help our parents like if they are at work and there is a mess in the kitchen instead of saying oh my mom will just do it why don't u step up and help your mom out as when she comes from work she takes care of her children and when she is at work she is work to buy you everything she can afford. Parents are working 6-8 hours some working night shift some working in morning and some working both to feed us, put a roof over our heads, and buy us clothes and some people say is that not what they are supposed to do and i disagree because not all people have a roof over their heads not all people have proper clothes and not all people have fresh food to eat so we should appreciate our parents and home for keeping us safe and comfortable. Homes are not just about money; they are about respect and care around you.
