07 Good Having Kids Answer
Avern,
Who ever put it into your head that raising a family is making so
many sacrafices and burdens?
Raising is family is definitely hard and it doesn't come with an
instruction booklet, but it has so many, many daily rewarding aspects.
I'm a married mom of two a boy and girl and we did not plan either one of
the kids. In fact our first child was one we definitely weren't ready
for, actually the second one too, but it was a learning experience.
You're gonna make mistakes and that's okay. If you didn't I would not
consider you normal. You have yet to look forward to watching your
child's face as it recognizes your voice. The first time your baby
smiles just at your is absolutely wonderful. The accomplishment your
baby will make, like lifting his/her head, cutting a tooth, giggling,
rolling over, creeping, and so on. Watch your child's face when he/she
first touches a flower or sees a bug. Watch your child when he/she is
sitting on the front lawn and plays in the grass in wonder. Sing a song
to your child over and over and wait till that day when he/she starts
singing it to you. Oh there's so much. The best of all is when your
child hugs you and just looks at you like you're a million. Right now
you can't totally imagine all this, but believe me you will see.
Don't get me wrong, there are many tough times, but that goes without
thinking. There's a lot of milestone I have yet to gain with my kids,
but knowing I'll be there to help, is something to look forward. You're
gonna have a human being that will love you so much and you will love back.
