For me giving birth was what I equate to a marathon runner finishing a race, it is the biggest release of physical and emotional energy filled with a loads of adrenaline…It is so true that the pain escapes your memory and even without an epidural on either delivery I cannot recall the pain not even the “ring of fire” stays with you!
The process of giving birth was easy compared to the real job of parenting. Parenting is a daily and constant hurdle. There is no rule book, standard operating procedures, or instruction manual. It takes a lot of ingenuity and major tenacity! Loving your children is truly unconditional; there is no denying this feeling. In the past few weeks my thoughts have centered on this question; are we always suppose to “like” our children? No matter how much you want for your children they may not share your hopes, dreams and desires. I am finding that a number of circumstances affect the path our children choose and the struggles as a parent are beyond stressful. The onset of puberty and the need to “belong” are battles that I may never win. In discussions with other parents I hear this is just the beginning and I’m thinking wow, really? I will admit it is easy to love unconditionally but to always “like” who your child is transforming into in front of your eyes, is like trying to swallow multiple pre-natal vitamins at once! What are your thoughts?
Peace,

Loving your kids is really unconditional. You really all the best for your kid. As parent, we must do our very best in order to bear a kind and god fearing kid.
