Parenthood Ramblings - 5

Today, as I was surfing through the posts of one of the baby care apps I follow, one of the posts caught my attention. The post was about a baby contest and it read "My Cutest Baby Contest". Now, each and every baby is cute. They mean the world to their respective parents. What is the point in dragging them into silly competitions from a tender age to prove how cute or pretty they are? Aren't we metamorphosing them into racing rats with this sort of gesture?
Let's raise our children in such a way so that they find happiness in simplest of things. Let's ensure them a happy and carefree childhood.

Parenthood Ramblings - 24

When I came to know about my conception, I always wanted a girl. Why? I don't know. And I called her Shireen whenever she moved inside. Shireen is the Persian word for sweetness. Yes, she moved whenever I had a sweet or a dessert dish. But, since she saw the world, I don't call her Shireen anymore. I prefer to etch the name in my heart. Every small feeling do not need to get shared or known to others.

When we had to get up during the night to feed her, we disliked it. However, we had to do it for the sake of filling up her tummy so that she can sleep soundly, for a little more time, till the time she pees again and scream for the next feed badly. But, why did we start to miss these sessions badly when she started to sleep for longer hours together without getting up for night feeds? Why? After all, we disliked them so very much. Didn't we? Ohh! Welcome to the growing ups dear parents, we tell ourselves...more such missings are going to happen. :( #parenthoodramblings P.S: The series #parenthoodramblings is totally based on my personal opinion which might be different from the other opinions on parenting. I am here to share my opinion and have no intention to hurt the others on this matter.

Parenthood Ramblings - 22

I loved to watch short films on YouTube or surf the internet for the sake of updating my knowledge just before I slept. It became kind of an addiction. After my daughter was born, I started to co-sleep and waited till she dozed off to carry on with this regular activity of mine. But, off late, I had been observing that my 3 and 1/2 month old daughter closely watches on whenever I fiddle with my phone during the sleep time. A proverb flashed through my mind, almost instantly, which say, "A child behaves exactly how he or she sees the other elders." Yesternight, I decided to stop watching YouTube or surfing around during the sleep time and I did so without any regret, because, I do not want to raise up an addict. Period. P.S: The series #parenthoodramblings is totally based on my personal opinion which might be different from the other opinions on parenting.
