The toughest phase of parenthood

Phew! There are so many things which accumulates in my mind when I say the word parenthood. Love, freedom, play, fun excitement, enjoyment all these feelings were there in our life when we were kids and that too by small things like playing with a friend for the whole day, watching one movie on Sunday, eating ladoos when mum not around. So is it something that we have lost now because we are parents. Or we as parents are not supposed to have these any more because we are under constant pressure of making our kids great, make them learn coding at early stage, get them admitted to the best school in the city or internationally even though it causes a heart attack to me when we need to pay the fees which keeps on increasing. What are we up to, and did our parents go through all this when we were kids.

Recently we as parents have entered that phase of parenthood where we would be judged by almost everyone, need to spend sleepless nights collecting forms and standing in the line, think our salary is just rolling penny which is really of no use after years of slogging and all the negativity we can collect from around. Yes you guess it right, we are searching for a school for our dear kid, which stresses us more than my first interview. WHY? I mean I don’t think there is any definite answer for this why but yes this is what is going on for years and will be going on. With huge amounts to be given for their academics it has become a rat race to admit the kid into a decent school, which usually is no different than other. But yes its like BMW and Maruti both serve the same purpose but I don’t need to tell the difference here. And like all others we get along this race and try our best to get admitted to the one we think is best for us and feel like it is our moral responsibility to pay this huge amount else our kids will never get the right of education.

Whatever it is, I don’t have a say in which school you should put your lad to but yes just want to share its ok if we don’t get the best out of all. We can trust ourselves and the kid that with whatever resources available we can make best out of it and shine brightly. Just remember once from where did we all came in, at that time all schools were good we usually chose which was the closest and we are doing great. So have that faith in yourself and your kid without stress we can just try to get the best we can and focus on how we can give the kid a healthy, neutral, encouraging, competitive and positive environment around where in the kid can understand and accept that success and failure both go hand in hand and its ok to be the best just like the way its ok to fail sometimes when we cannot do the best.

And you know what the easiest way they will learn this is from OUR BEHAVIOR.

Let’s enjoy every phase of our life as its not always we get a chance to experience the beauty of it.
