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.
