Children…



Out here every other family we socialize with are with children…infants, toddlers, prep school to high school. they are present in all shapes and sizes….That ofcourse is not wat this blog is about. Its about how the couples transform into full time parents and nothing else once they are blessed with kids. My neighbor’s wife has just 1 occupation: She is a full time mom to her very spoilt 2 year old. The kid is irky, irritated and throwing tantrums almost all the time. But how much delight her parents take in her is something that is beyond me! I say this, becoz I really do not understand wat is the objective of such profound dedication. Does that mean, I don’t have the right motherly instincts! U may think…but I don’t think so! I don’t think an individual should stop being his/ her personal self once they become parents. I agree that giving birth to a new life is one of the best things that womankind can experience....but we shouldn’t let it overwhelm us to such an extent that everything else ceases to exist! I mean I don’t have a problem with parents going ga-ga over their children, my folks have done it all their life too….but What I do seek is answers to certain questions like….

On becoming parents, y is it that everything else ceases to exist apart from their kid?
Do they do all that they do willingly? Or it is sheer acceptance of a situation?
Do parents see kids as a future investment or is it truly unconditional?
Are children really worth such selfless love?
Are children good ROI’s ?(for the uninitiated its Return on Investment)


Well who knows if i’ll ever get answers to these…maybe I’ll need to wait an watch till I become a mother myself. And dats when I will too be expected to tread the delicate balance between being a parent an also being an individual. Inshaalah!
