Here is what you need to know about motherhood, Its challenges and the joy it offers.
Motherhood is not all about having stretch marks over your belly. Motherhood is all about waking up in the middle of the night to ensure that your child is sleeping fine. Motherhood is all about preparing lunch after lunch for your child each morning only to see the nutritious food return back home untouched in their lunchbox. Motherhood is all about being continuously asked by your children to tell them which of them is your favorite, and whom you love the most. Lastly, motherhood is all about remembering and appreciating your own mother and how she brought you up.
Motherhood is all about these different situations a woman goes through in life after she becomes a mother. With motherhood, your responsibilities increase. You need to ensure that your children eat, drink, and sleep healthy. They stay clean and free from all the germs. They learn good manners and develop healthy habits.
Working tirelessly throughout the day and spending sleepless nights becomes a norm. But that one moment when you pause and look at your children adorably as they sleep is when you feel that they are worth every sacrifice. You wish you can stop time for the joy of the moment.
Motherhood cannot be taken lightly. Mothers put in a lot of efforts to ensure that their child becomes an independent and successful individual. They know how important their child’s physical and mental development is for their healthy growth.
The most amazing thing about motherhood is how easily mothers adapt to different roles and carry out a number of jobs for the wellbeing of their children. Sometimes they become their part-time teachers who nurture their thinking and problem solving skills, while sometimes they become their security guards protecting them in frightening situations. Sometimes they become their children’s fortunetellers, planning what is going to be the best for them, while sometimes they become the police setting up rules and what the penalties are going to be if the rules are broken.
