10 Things you must be aware of being a mother

The most beautiful moment in any woman’s life is when she becomes a mother. Imagine an entire human being formed inside you, by you and you’re his/her home for a whole of nine months. But because women believe that they make these little humans, they believe they have complete control over them forever. Yes, they do have control, but only to an extent. As the saying goes ‘They come through you, but from you.’

Here are 10 things every mother should know about motherhood, children and life:
  1. Having a baby does not come with a manual. It is okay if you can’t stop your baby from crying in the first attempt itself. It will take time.

  2. Don’t feel bad about missing out on things. You will have to get used to it. You may never get to eat an entire cookie again. Your toddler will never let you finish it.

  3. When your child is 5 and wants to go to the playground, don’t be over protective. Let him/ her go out. Let them fall, let them get up and run again. This how they learn. But keep an eye on them.

  4. When they start focusing on their friends and don’t pay you attention, don’t feel bad. This is just a phase and this is when they like expanding their social circle.

  5. They could have their first crush when they’re 13. Don’t be a dictator. If you think it is not correct for them, explain to them as to what is wrong. Don’t leave them guessing as this is the age they experiment at.

  6. When they’re 18 they will begin partying. They will have sleepovers and night outs. Keep an eye on their habits as they may be prone to substance abuse and illegal sexual relationships. Guide them and behave like a friend so they don’t hide things from you.

  7. When they’re 21, they might want to move out. This could be really hard on you if your world revolves around them. Explain to them about how you feel.
  8. Someday they might come and introduce their partner to you. That fear of making your little child belong to someone else might be scary. But it is their life and you have to let go. 

  9. When you have grandchildren, your children will still be your little babies. Teach them good parenting and be happy for them.

  10. The one thing you must know is no matter how many fights you have, your children will choose you over the rest of the world! They will always love you and you will always be their favourite woman!
