Parenting- A Penance

What it's like to be a parent: It's one of the hardest things you'll ever do but in exchange, it teaches you the meaning of unconditional love.

These people know what you are up to without your words and these are your parents. Try hard to escape from them, but they are always with you at every point in time. A newborn baby brings happiness to the couple but these people make his life happening either by sacrificing their own interests or by developing an interest in a separate lane. They do everything which makes you happy and satisfying all the time. That's why I say parenting no less than a penance. I often wonder how come this much strength in me for doing things. It is a push especially the blessings of my parents which show me the path.

A child fears from darkness and loneliness. A mother is the one who holds him all night without thinking of her own. We often make choices at the toy store and want to get the biggest and prettiest for us. At that time, a father pays for our ridiculous expenditure without thinking of his budget. How come this much unconditional love? You can never feel so much safe and loveable in the shade of your parents. In childhood, we all had the interest to make the picture of a happy family. It is always incomplete without our parents. We draw ourselves in between them since its the aura of their love and affection for us. Also, we feel safe when we are around them.

The depth of the love of parents for their children cannot be measured. It is like no other relationship. It exceeds concern for life itself. The love of a parent for a child is continuous and transcends heartbreak and disappointment.

Parents are a bunch of love and happiness in our life. Parenting a child from his birth until he stands on his own feet and understands his responsibility towards his own life, is indeed a very tough task. Children do many things which their parents don't find virtuous. It is because they have lived that phase of life before us. Instead of agreeing with them, we get angry at them. Surprisingly, did they ever thought of breaking up with us? Or did they stop thinking about us? No. They are not like other people who don't bother to do our good.

We don't catch up with their expectations many times. They don't lose hope in us. Isn't it wonderful that we have parents with us? It's very hard to become a parent. It's very complex to shower love instead of being broken from inside at times.
