I have wondered why parenting is a such challenging experience . . .
Kids push us to extreme point . . . You are to listen to constant whining from different sources with problems you can't fix . . . Misbehaviors you have to work on constantly everyday- even having to say things like broken record . . . Hoping one day, that concept will get to kids' head. You sometimes feel overstimulated one day or other and kids still won't stop. You have mental and physical exhaustion socking you into stomach- I say stomach because we never are prepared for it.
Adventure is defined in dictionary.com as
"1. an exciting or very unusual experience.
2. participation in exciting undertakings or enterprises: the spirit of adventure.
3. a bold, usually risky undertaking; hazardous action of uncertain outcome."
We never have experienced parenting before when we became pregnant. We have to stumble on our own. As many have said, there's no instruction manual coming with every child. Every child is different, his/her reaction to certain situation is totally different. We never will know the outcome of our parenting because- even with the best parents in the world, you may end up with a rebellious child who is very much determined to go opposite way when he/she becomes an adult. Parenting is very exciting, unpredictable, and a BOLD AND RISKY UNDERTAKING.
I have experienced sadness, heartbreak, joy incandescent . . . I have stumbled so many times and made mistakes. I looked like a fool at sometimes- just to play with my children or with making some rash decisions when I am blinded by my emotions.
Will I repeat it? Gladly! This experience is bittersweet, you can't understand bitter without sweet. Children are a such forgiving creatures who loves you unconditionally.
