I have been a mother to an angel of a daughter since the past 4 years…well almost, she turns four in the next two months!

It’s been a wonderful journey, and am looking forward to the years ahead as well. The best part is coming home to your kid to hug you tight which literally means ‘Mom, I missed you!’

It’s a learning experience every single day, the new stuff she learns in school, her voacabulary, breaking out into a sudden jig or her ways to talk, express and assure me at times when low thats shes right there for me, she potrays to be a big girl and responsible as well, which makes me wonder, ‘ Your only 4, Girl !’

Most of the times, being a mother also means testing your patience, and especially difficult for a person like me who lacks this virtue. A few months back I had started loosing my temper on my angel and at the spur of the moment I would yell at her or raise my hand not without a reason but for trifle matters which would make me angry, and later feel horribly guilty about it. A conversation with a friend made me realize the mistake I was doing. We are stressed with the situations that life brings to us on a daily basis, work, home, responsibilities, traffic snarls, end of the day reaching home to your demanding kids and home, all this tends to take a toll on our mental frame, but what about our little ones… whose world revolves around us, for the kid her parents are her universe and if we get angry at them or hit them, we also are teaching them to do the same thing with their friends and peers and shaping their personality in the wrong way. This thought really hit me and I try my level best to control myself and I did succeed a bit thou J Thank you my friend for showing me the right way !

Being a mother also makes you more responsible as an individual, before our babies arrive in this world, we are free birds, we can take off anytime for a movie, dinner, party or holidays without having to think twice, but being a mother you would think of the child and her schedule and the priorities suddenly change, the movie or dinner is no more important until the child has not slept or is settled, to make your plans for the day. Yeah most of the times the mother is famished earlier than the kid to make any more plans

Being responsible for your behavior and actions, every child watches their parents and are mirror images of their parents. The values, morals, habits we inculcate in our children (the earlier the better!!) will last them a lifetime and hopefully turn them into wonderful human beings, isn’t that each one of us as parents hope for?

Having babies is undoubtedly the best thing ever !! The most amazing and inexpressible feeling is the unspoken, unexpressed words that follow ……it’s Priceless !!

I have also accepted the fact I have grown not just in wisdom but in size as well
