A big shout out to mummies and daddies of hive! Welcome to my blog ❤️
Oh yes, I expected a change in my life while preparing to join the league of parenthood but not to the extent it is now as a parent. My life before the kids was free of lots of responsibilities, it was devoid of distractions while sleeping 😂, and I didn't have to think so much about meals to prepare. I didn't have anyone to interrupt my episode of movies with hubby, no homework or project to crack my brains, the list is just so much. lolz
Before my kids came in, I had this unusual bond with hubby, the beach ⛱️🏖️ regular visits, amazing visit to eateries in the city, frequent visits to hubby's workplace, in fact I was practically my husband hang bag 😂🤦. I had enough time for myself as well, I could use little time to finish my chores without distractions. The early morning gist with hubby while on the bed...oh my goodness 🤭...I just remembered how I missed all these while writing this post. It's a different lifestyle now as a parent of three boys
My boys, myself and my sister
Of course, I missed that bond with my husband. Our relationship changed when the kids came in. It happened gradually and I sincerely wish to bring those days back. The kid's frequent attention both at night and during the day is just too much, especially at this early childhood stage. Of course, it's our responsibility to always give them attention whenever the need arises. If it's not the other child, then it's another child at different intervals. I wish these children can just grow at once ☺️ and enter the university immediately so I can have those amazing moments I have been yearning for.
Wow, it's kindness. becoming a parent made me more kind to people, especially children. I put my children first in whatever I am doing or thinking, and now I see myself extending the same to others outside. It's now part of me that I can't cut out. The arrival of my kids indeed humbled me so much and I love it
I wish I could have noted the fact that all children are different/ unique and understand things differently. Initially, I was comparing my older son to my younger one🤦♀️. I didn't realize this before becoming a parent and it affected my parenthood at the onset, but now I know better.
