The reality of parenting !
Ever thought of suing the ad agencies for showing the rosy pictures of time with the kids? Well, I did a lot of times !
- the happy happy baby after wearing the diapers
- that proudish maa beeming at her child's intelligence that just shot up after drinking complan
- that energy concerned mom who saw her child winning the laurels after drinking Boost, the secret of energy
- The tata sky learn at home intelligent tv kits for kids showing the easy way of learning at home on tv
- The never ending tastier junk eatables for kids
- on and on..
If only the life with babies and kids were so easy and rosy. After the dramatic time in life with my kid, I have realised that parenting is not an easy job. I fell back to some of the self motivational videos on parenting and anger control from the net. I bumped upon this video from Sadhguru which talks about working on yourselves first before working on your kids. Parenting is a good 20 year relentless project- it needs your huge commitment and patience.
So there all dearies, it isnt easy. The reality is much different from the rosyness shown on the digital media. Wake up early to it and save a lot of trauma later !
