In your words explain what you understand by Parenthood

kid with parents source

The word parenthood is an all encompassing word. It consist of the word parent and hood. The word parent simply means a person who is responsible for a child or children. A parent sees to every affairs of the child including feeding, caring, providing, supporting, nurturing and guilding.

---

Generally, the term parenthood is a distinctive term use to classify any one who does the responsibilities I have mentioned above.

---

Parenting is not an easy task, sometimes the journey is not sweet, other times it seems interesting. So much to be learnt in the field of parenting. Personally, I feel parenthood is both skill, grace.

---

Been a parent doesn't just involve biological conception of a child. There are people who I have seen that were not biological parents of a child but succeeded in training and bringing up the child until the child became an adult. Now that's parent hood.

Tell us about your heroes (parents) for example what you usually do together, their importance to you

my lovely Dad, taken from my phone gallery

Good Parents are heros and guess what? My parents are no exception. My parents are my heroes, they turn up for me when no one does and in the least expected times. They are as though they have some kind of super powers to do just whatever I need.

My parents were my first teachers. I practically leant so much from them just watching them. My parents nurtured and cultured me to be the young woman I am today.

---

My parents were there for me when no one was. They stood by me, corrected me when I went out of line and made sure I had the right trainings, worthy of representing them in the society.

---

My mum loves story telling so every night after dinner she would seat I and my siblings and tell is stories of her childhood, children stories, and other stories. My Dad and mum often take us to the farm each time we visit our village. My parents loves farming, they like cultivating plants like yam, cassava, maize and groundnut. We all go to the farm together to plant those crops from start to finish.

---

My parents are important personalities in my life and some times I wonder how my life would turn out without them. It's been from one step of growth. They practically modelled a good life for me and thought me basic life lessons. My parents also thought me basic ethics and courtesy. My parents are important to me because they are a major building block that makes up my life. They contribute to my daily joy.

What are the major roles of parents to you

A parents hand assisting the hand of the source

Parents plays vital roles to the upbringing of a children. My parents has played important roles in my life and they are still playing roles in my life.

---

Growing up my parents played the roles of a teacher. The taught me academics and regular stuff. My dad would always gets books for me to read wither it relates to my age or not. He just wanted me to be vast.

---

Parents like I said plays important roles. Parents nurture and gives support to their children. Aside bringing me forth to this world, my parents kept nursing me such that they provided all I need for my growth. They provided me with support. Even when no one believes in a child, parents believes in their children, giving then all the necessary support.

---

Parents are important because they provide protection and roof over the heads of their children. Some times I imagine a kid without parents. It not the job of a child to protect himself at that tender age. parents are to provide protection over harsh Weather Condition and even harm

Parents build and correct children..they way a parent choose to correct a child matters alot. My parents didn't correct me in the best ways but Al in all I knew it was only a means to correct my mistakes and make me better.

---

Another role parents play in a child's life is to provide for the child. Parents provide all sorts of things like clothing, feeding, and other things inclusive. Parents see to it that their children do not lack any good that will help you grow their kids. My parents played such roles in my life and that is how I know this for a fact.

Do you see parenthood as a scam?

I just wonder why in the world I would see parenthood as a scam. No I don't see parenthood as a scam. Infact I see it as a full time job that deserves an award.

Parents especially good parents continue to play roles in the lives of their children till they are no more. Parents can even okay some vital roles in decision making of where the child schools or what job to do or which city to move to. Parenthood isn't a scam and should not be seen as such because parents put into so much energy, strength, wisdom, and finance to grow their children.

Conclusion

Am not a parent yet but at least I have witnessed what it means to be one. I also have parents who have done so well in my life.

My parents are my hero's they have shown up for me many times when I thought not possible to get out of a situation. I love them.

I would like to invite my friends to tell me what they think about this topic @ishayachris @ruthgold @mato445
