Re: The thing about parenting is...
i've seen my family how they've raised their children. it's 100% dedication, 100% attention and 100% quality time allocation :)
Re: The thing about parenting is...
what works for one parents may not work for another!! (just like each pregnancy is different, I am assuming parenting each child is different as well.)
Re: The thing about parenting is...

another life depends on u. Messed up parents generate messed up children. So may be before u plan for a kid its important to realize if u are capable of the responsibility
Re: The thing about parenting is...
No matter how perfect you think you are, everyone has issues and idiosyncrasies and flaws, and I guarantee parenting will force you to confront them.

The thing about parenting is* jitna gurr dalo utna meetha. *The more effort you put in, the more rewarding it will be, it's like growing crops.

Parents and children learn together.
Re: The thing about parenting is...
^ that is so true! Im gonna be doing that a lot from now on.... To think sometimes parents can just say 'cuz i say so' when ure child is asking questions.... Or come up with total bs... I feel my right as a desi parent has been taken away from me and now i literally have to find proper answers to the 'kiu's" and "kia's" ! :DSo yes... Ure child makes u a better grown up...smarter too.
Re: The thing about parenting is...
Oh and..... U only realize what parenthood is, when u ureself become one. THAT'S when u appreciate other parents, especially ure own. :)
Re: The thing about parenting is...
^ couldn't agree with you more!! parents ki real qadar is only realised when you are a parent yourself and put yourself in their shoes over all the grievances and misunderstandings you had with them as a kid.
