What is the most exciting job, full of challenges and adventures every day? With obstacles and tests at every corner, but at the end of the day it’s also the one job that gives you inexplicable happiness. Something that you cannot put down in words. What would be your choice, if you had to give an answer? Maybe working at Disney or an explorer for National Geographic? There can be numerous answers, quite interesting ones, but today we are talking about a full time job that pays you not in cash or any materialistic returns but in moments and memories which are priceless. Being a mother and playing the role every day in real life is the most challenging as well as rewarding job in the world. A mother is numerous things, myriad responsibilities. She doesn’t seek someone to take over her life. A woman is a strong independent personality that you draw inspiration from. So the think twice the next time you go ahead spreading rumors about her because you have the least clue of what she has been going through and what she is capable of.
The torments a mother has to go through over the course of her life are limitless and unparalleled so what we can do is not increase the agony rather help alleviate the pain. Many a times when we try to find our story in others we get the answers we didn’t even know existed. Possibilities and perspectives we open up to might not have been existed earlier. That is why we try to seek solace in words put down by someone else who went through the same. I think we also want pointers or instruction manuals because we are afraid, afraid to own up our own mistakes in case we make any. So we find things or people or even an article, anything that we can put the blame on.
Each day is a new challenge and you face them, braving the storms as they come ready. And ready for another because you cannot give up on family, on your kids. Once you are a mom you will go through a lot of ups and downs and a lot of difficult choices every single day. Do not be intimidated by the problems, remember all the things can be sorted if you face them one at a time.
When the baby is small, there is no day or night. Moms always need to be wary, there is no time when the little one would need a change of diaper or another bottle of Luke warm milk. Be it the tantrums of a teenage kid or the potty duties of the little ones, everything needs to be taken care of and everything is. So the next time you scream your Mom’s name the second your favourite toy or one of your sock goes missing just realize how much she cares for you and how dependent you are on her.
Once the colossal task of waking up the kids for school is done, then there is a whole procedure that finally leads them to the school buses with the mother being left behind borderline sane. Once that is done it is time for the mother to get ready for work and complete the rest of the chores. But the truth is, being a Mom is a full time duty. Post work you pick up your kids and head back home after a hectic day at work and all you can think about is the bed. But that is a farfetched dream and for that there are baby duties that you need to fulfill. Once the homework, dinner and drama is over, you get a little time to prepare for the next day.
But at the end of the day , when you tuck your kids in bed and see their peaceful , innocent faces sleeping without a care, the warmth that spreads through your heart is incredible and in that very moment you realize that the little ones are a part of you growing up outside of you and how essential they are. You cannot even imagine a day without your kids. The ups and downs are undeniable and if you are lucky to have a partner to help you through this journey, what else could you ask for. You don’t just get a perfect family, you need to build one. With life lessons you teach your kids and learn yourself at every step. No one could do parenthood better than you
