Parenting

Teacher - jason! Why were you absent yesterday?

For those of you who are parents of young toddlers this may be hardly funny. It is one of those many things that they are trying to get used to. Is it realy so hard? Well to be honest at times it is and and at times you do it more than happily. The big difference is when you are mentally and physically prepared for the changes, that a new life is going to bring.

When you hold that darling baby for the very first time, the feeling is divine, but then day after day, as the chores increase; with most of your time and energy for the child and the responsibilities increase. That is when you realize what being a parent is all about. It is a pleasure watching your child grow day after day, but then to keep it a satisfactory affair, just be prepared.

Don't take things for granted or ease yourself with ' we will take care of it when we come to it'. Talk about your doubts, clear your things with your spouse, very important budget yourself and the coming expenses. These things need to be taken care of, they just don't take care of themselves.

Do practical but important things eat healthy food, be prepared mentally for the changes sleeping routines, handling the baby, accepting the child this may sound amusing, but it is true a lot of people do take time in accepting a new member in their life. If life is good for the two of you it can be better for the three of you, if you are ready to keep it that way.

My body is changing so fast and I think I snapped at beatrice my co-worker today.
