Motherhood... A word, a feeling or an emotion which every woman aspires to experience atleast once in her lifetime... Motherhood comes with lots of challenges along with many beautiful moments to cherish for.
Motherhood is not an easy journey especially if you are taking care of your baby alone. You have to be a mother, a cook, a nurse, a spy, a teacher, a friend and above all an entertainer who needs to be always ready to entertain them be it any time of the day. It doesn't matter how tired you are..
You don't get time for yourself, nor for your interests. You need to eat food which suits your kid too..because if the kid falls ill you are the one who is going to bear the consequences. Your job, your aspirations all come to a halt or atleast like other say a pause but that doesn't mean you can achieve them again after few years..that might not happen at all.
Some mothers who are very lucky get to enjoy all the benefits that life throws at them since they have support from their parents or in -laws.,but that too comes with a cost. The expectations from you keeps increasing day by day until you finally give up and feel it's better to take care of your kid yourself.
Inbetween all this hurdles, you will still be judged for the type of mother you are.. People still keep giving you advices as to what is good and what is bad to your kid. They think they know your kid better than you. Please disconnect the connection from ear to brain and listen to them. You need not take it to your heart or mind. Nobody knows your kid better than yourself bcos you were the first human being that the God had introduced to your baby. You knew her heartbeat before anyone else.
Among all these circus of parenting, love your child above all since you are first point of contact to your kid. Kids need not utter any words to make their mother understand them. How much ever the kids may stress you out, still a small hug from their tiny little hands or a sweet kiss from them is all that you need to get energized and restart your journey again the next morning as a mother.. So, Enjoy this journey!!
