WHAT JOY ARE EXPERIENCED BY PARENTS FOR BECOMING PARENTS?

Well, this is sure a tactical question for I am no parent yet but then, I have watched how two couples celebrated their child birth and it was so wonderful.

The joy that filled their heart is far beyond explanation. It is even more than when someone wins a lottery. The happiness spread across their heart and it was as if they felt complete when the baby came.

My sister also had a child, I was there when the labour started, you should see how nervous she and her husband was. I haven't seen anything like that before, it was as if everything was on hold until the good new arrived.

The baby came, and joy overflowed in their heart, i wasn't the father, but I was also jubilating and singing, thanking God for a safe delivery. Now if I could be that happy, how about the rightful parent of that baby?

The joy of being a parent is literally unexplainable. Have you seen a couple having no child for years and then one day, God chooses to bless them with a child. The kind of joy that will fill their hearts is uncontrollable.

So the joy experienced by parents for becoming a parents is epic and can not be compared with or to anything in this world at all.

WHAT DOES THIS JOY PROMPT THEM TO DO FOR THEIR KIDS AND TO WHAT EXTENT ARE THEY READY TO CARRY OUT THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TOWARDS THEIR KIDS?

This uncontrollable joy can prompt parents to go extra miles for their kids knowing fully well that, these kids are products of their expectation and as such, they will do anything, cross any mountain, go through thick and thin for their children to have a better life.

My mum is an example of one parent that I know that can go to any extent for her children, to the point that my mum can starve for her children to eat. What kind of love is that?

The joy that comes from parents having children, they are sure ready to sacrifice even to the last of ther sweat to make sure that their children are not just comfortable but are given the necessary things in this life as well. They provide, protect and care much for their children at all cost.

It's not all couples that are opportune to have children, and as such, children are gifts from God. So every parents would see that their children are comfortable, even if they do not have money to provide more than a enough for their children, they go as far as to provide the necessary things for their children not to lack.

DOES THIS JOY INCREASE AS THE CHILD GROW? WHAT CAN CONTRIBUTE TO THE PARENTS JOY

Yes, this joy grows every moment and time as the child grows. The transition from infancy to adulthood stage, the love increases more and more.

The thing that mostly contribute to the parents joy is seeing that the child grows to become a successful being making them proud and wiping away their tears. Do you know how parents feel when their child grows in the way he or she is being raised up.

That joy is not seen elsewhere plus, the success of a child is worth more than gold to the parents. There's nothing more interesting than a parent seeing his or her children becoming the person's they want them to be.

So the success of a child and making the family proud is a part of the characteristics that increases the love of parents to their children.

DO YOU WISH TO BE A PARENT OR ARE YOU ALREADY ONE? DO YOU WANT TO EXPERIENCE SAME JOY OR YOU'RE ALREADY EXPERIENCING THE JOY OF PARENTS?

I sure wish to be a parent someday. The joy in which my dad has experienced and that which one mum is experiencing is something that I equally want to taste when I become a parent. And being a parent comes with great responsibilities, so if I want to experience such joy, I should be ready to be a parent soon if only I work hard just as they have.

I look forward to experiencing thr joy of a parent some day and that is if I play my role so well as a son to his mother, and also if I work so hard to becoming someone better in the future.

WHAT HOPES OF HAPPINESS DO YOU WANT AS A PARENT FOR YOUR CHILD LATER?

My hopes of happiness for my child if I become a parent in the future is for my children to be great and also to make me proud. They should portray a symbol of excellence because every parent will be happy if their child or children are intelligent, so that will equally make me happy too.

CONCLUSION

Being a parent is a beautiful thing, although I am not one yet but, I have seen how children makes their parents happy and also how parents never stopped talking about their children's success. It is indeed a joyful thing being parent which I hope to be someday.
