Mom and Dad and Xiaokong Kong and me

I saw a post last night. A group of people helped a mother who had just given birth to a daughter and
gave an idea about how to correct her daughter's small flaws: for example, when she was a child, she cut her eyelashes to make her eyelashes longer.
When sleeping, let her head take turns to sleep on the side, so that it will look good with long hair when the head is full.
Not giving her jeans before she stops growing will prevent her from growing taller.
Pinch her nose to make it longer and straighter.
Give her sesame powder to make her hair shiny.
Give her the right bra in time and tell her not to hunch back.
Don’t dance too much in ballet so that your calf muscles will develop. You can swim more and your body can be more upright...

Just when everyone was babbling,
a man suddenly jumped out and said meaningfully, “The most important thing is to teach her how to do things. Otherwise, the perfect child you carefully nurture, a man can ruin her. "It

seems that we have many loose holes of different sizes. They represent our defects. Mom and Dad want to guide us in many ways. Fill them up, make them smooth and clean, just as they hope for our future life state. The loose holes we keep appearing, one has not yet been filled, and there is another. From this, we can understand why mom and dad have unfinished and broken hearts since we were born.

However, we walked on our own path comfortably, sometimes just indifferent to those small holes, thinking that it was just that for granted. It looks like the daughter Maggi in the movie.
Sometimes no parents really care about the value of their existence. It's so dangling. I missed some opportunities that I should cherish myself.

I have always been in an intermediate state. While "listening in" what they taught me, there is no period of rebellion or absolute obedience. But the more I grow up, the more I cherish the moment when others give me a wake-up call. Remind me of my responsibility. It is impossible for my parents to change their youthful bodies like in the movies, go to school with me and be with me, and one day they will even disappear from me. Who will show me those holes to show me? Who guides me to fill them up?
