Fun Friday – Parenting is…

How would you complete the statement, “parenting is…?” There’s rarely a dull moment in the life of a parent. No matter what stage of parenting you’re experiencing right now, you could probably find something interesting about the experience.

·         Watching the same video over and over when your child is a toddler.

·         Driving a car so dirty that you’re embarrassed when you have a passenger other than your child.

·         Having to respond to the word “why” a million times a day. If your child is a teen it may be that you hear the phrase, “why do I have to…?”

·         Fantasizing that your teen children will do their chores without you asking.

·         Wishing for more time to get things done.

·         Watching your child score a goal for the opposing team.

·         Being excited over a drawing your child made even though you have no idea what it is.

·         Preparing to enjoy a night on the town while the kids are with Grandma. Once they’re gone you realize you’re too tired to do anything.

·         Enjoying a good laugh with your child.

·         Loving your children unconditionally.
