When I took a pregnancy test 20 years ago and found out I was pregnant I was modified, Every single thing that my mother had said would happen if you let boys kiss you was now becoming a reality, the fear of being a mother or even the though of cleaning poop or vomit was a nightmare..... Thankfully the moment you hold your baby in your arms, all the love rushes through you and the urge to do all in your power to protect them and care for them is now the norm, Pride and Joy is now the order of the day and everything seems so more tolerable, your boss, your parents because nothing but that beautiful baby matters and giving him/her everything that they may or may not deserve is your number one priority...... You work extra to keep a continuous income, you keep up with the latest trend and by this I mean ... Cartoons,... Frozen, Max steel, Sophia The first and the list can go on.... School projects that requires perhaps and army to get it done but with Gods help you manage and then they grow up or so they would like to think... Clean your room, do your home work, brush your teeth, sit properly, don't speak like that, what kinda music you listening too?, Where did you meet this friend? where is the rest of your outfit? come off the phone and go to bed,wake up its time to go! it seem like we talk more, stress more and even DO more when kids get older?
Where did we go wrong? Didn't we do all what we set out to do? didn't we give our kids the things we never had, didn't we relive them of the daunting chores that we had when we were kids..... So what went wrong? Many scholars (Grandparents) would argue that we have spared the rod and spoiled the child. Perhaps what we didn't have or what we had to do (chores) is what made us better.
