This is how Wikipedia defines parenting and I like it. :-).
Parenting or child-rearing is the process of promoting and supporting the physical, emotional, social, and intellectual development of a child from infancy to adulthood. A thought has just flashed let me share. Getting annoyed is a personal choice and decision. If you will choose to get annoyed then people, flies, children, friends, husbands, wives and everything else will annoy you persistently. Now if you will start blaming others the problem will persist. The only solution is that you stay calm, cool and you simply don't get annoyed. Kids are very good at annoying those who choose to get annoyed of them. So be aware of them and Have a Good Day. :-).
