Parents and their sacrifices for their children
Parents are really wonderful souls. Our coming to life was due to their agreement consciously or unconsciously.
Even when they had us as fetus, they could have decided to have us terminated, yet, they didn't and decided to have us.
This was either their best or worst decision considering what they went through before having us but that must have changed since we later turn out to be beautiful souls as well.
Our parents did all they could to make sure we survived as infant. When we couldn't say a word, they tried to understand us. Even when they were helpless, they still tried their best to make sure we were fine.
Our stool, pee, vomit and many other things we consider disgusting were done by our parents to nurture and make sure we are fine. Here in Nigeria, some mothers use their mouths to extract mucus from infant nose. Disgusting right? But mothers never cared. They just want their children to be okay and healthy.
Growing up was not easy as well. We were always demanding. We wanted this, we wanted that. Sometimes, they go out of their comfort zone just to satisfy us. As little babies, we had no idea about their financial status. In fact, we know nothing about that.
We just kept on demanding and chanting how our friends parents bought this and that for them. They brought them to school , we loved them and wanted them as well.
Despite this obvious stress and pressure, they still tried their best to make us comfortable and be fine.
Sometimes, these beautiful souls send us to schools that weighs down on them. Most our parents live below normal standards just to send us to best schools so that we would be okay in the future.
Even those of us not born with silver spoons were showed and showered love by our parents. We were not often taken out to eateries or on for picnic, but in their ways, they bought us things to complement these moments in their own ways.
This shows how amazing they are. In fact, God and our parents made us whatever we are today. Without God and our parents, we are practically nothing.
Perhaps, you should look at infants and see how their parents take care of them to know none would have survived without such awesome care and love by these beautiful souls.
Or how else would you define the care shown to an infant who can't talk? Eat on his/her own? Clean his/herself after stooling?
It must be divine, special and amazing!
There is a need for us to reflect back on our lives, how far we have gone. How many times we stumbled. How many time life seems to turn it back at us and we think of those who were there, still there and never left.
They keep giving us this strength that we couldn't find elsewhere.
So would you consider having them over and over again? For me, i would say yes! I would want to have my mom over and over again if i have the chance to choose her as my mother in my next life (if there is any next life though!).
I would love to read what you think about your parents, how you adore them and you would always want to be their son or daughter forever.
Thanks for your time.
Parents no matter what have some special love for their children. I will therefore thank our mothers esp. how they are able to wean their children at a gradual process till they grow up. But no so much benefits do these parents get from their wards in the quest to find what is best for their lives. Sometimes, these children even disrespect their parents and worry them a lot. Thanks for this good message shared with us.
Yes, being a parent is very difficult. And especially when you have a child who is not even a year old.
I remember how hard it was for me when my daughter was born. It was my first child and everything was new for me, I didn't understand anything. And then I decided that child early education Brooklyn would help me and I found https://littlescholarsnyc.com/ which really helped me quite well. I gave my daughter to the day program of the youngest. It was much easier for me, I had time to rest and was always in a good mood. My husband was very proud of me and did not blame me for not being able to devote 24 hours a day to a child.
