Childhood migration

 Childhood migration: Dark_Tomato_:3



November, 2021 

Hi,

it's me, again. :3 So, lately I've been thinking a lot about a topic that I think it's pretty interesting. My opinion about it is based on my experience and those stories my family told me.

First, I want to get a little bit into context. My family used to live in a rural area with my grandfather, but we moved to city meanwhile my father and the rest of my family stayed there. But... why was I thinking about it? Well... I was not, surprise~  Being sincere, I don't think a lot about our area change, but suddenly my grandfather came to our place and he started talking about our moved to city. I think he was truly affected by it.

I told him it was not a big change for me, I didn't want to be mean to him, he get so mad at me. I was confused for that reason he started telling me about how my family was affected by our moved to city. First, my parents used to live at a rural area with my whole family; my grandfather was so excited about it because he thought that living at the same area could be kind of a tradition. As soon as he heard that my parents were planning moving to city, he got so disappointed and angry. Immediately after we knew about it, he went to my father for changing his mind, he thought my parents as “the men of the house” he could choose and do anything and my mother was going to accept. Of course, it was not like that, and it was a decision both of them took. We moved to city just when I was a kid, 2 year old approx., therefore I can remember a lot about it and it was not THE change. After we moved to city, my family was so sad, the have a clear perspective of what would happened with my family being in the city.

They thought we were going to get mean, bad, conceited and that we were going to completely forgot about them. My grandfather told all of those things to my parents, for sure they would get mad it was not something nice. For sure, our family lost a little bit of contact in all of these years.

As someone who migrate from rural to urban area, I should have a good opinion about it, but the truth is that, I don’t. Migration is something problematic for many, it represent a whole change of life, I don’t think it is something good for kids who have already established in a place. Migration for kids could be a change that could affect their future and personality. I personally disagree with the idea of migration of families with kids from 4 to 15 years old. I choose this rate of age because I think that ‘till 3 years old a kid can’t clearly recollect information of their life and that changes could be easier for them since they are more adaptable. Meanwhile, teenagers are more refused to migration since it could probably mean losing their friends, and their process of acceptance is harder causing more complications.

Finally, I just want to say not all is black and white. Migration could be a new experience helping kids being open-minded, but I think is better a place comfortable for them. Of course, it is significant to consider parents’ perspective and reason, because it’s a change for all.

See u :}
