Becoming a Parent

Becoming a Parent

It’s sad to know that some people will never know how becoming a parent really feels. Becoming a parent can change a person’s life in many different ways. I always knew I wanted kids when I got old enough. My son is 12 years old and growing up fast. It hasn’t been easy and it isn’t going to get any easier from this point because he is becoming a teenager. My daughter is about to turn four in December and with her it has been a whole different experience than with my son. I can only imagine what the future holds for them. There are many things in life to be thankful for, but having children can help a person realize how much they have to be thankful for. Becoming a parent is one of the best things a person can ever do for his or her self. Why do people want to become parents? One reason people want to become a parent is because they want to be able to raise a child of their very own and no one else would be able to tell them how to raise them. A parent can only hope that they we will raise their children better than their parents raised them and that their children will do an even better job than they did. People may try to tell someone else how to raise their child but it is still the parent’s final decision. A child will bring a family joy and happiness. Having children will help make your family feel more complete. Another reason people want to become a parents is because it gives a mother or father an overwhelming feeling that only real loving parents can describe. Parents are able to watch their children grow from peanut-sized speck on an ultrasound to a complex individual. When people have children they look forward to seeing who that child looks most like the father or mother. Parenting helps people become a more compassionate person to every situation that he or she may encounter. Parents want to be able to protect their children from anything and everything. It’s hard to let go and let them do things that may end up getting them hurt but that’s how we learn. A parent that is overprotective thinks they are doing the right thing for their child but it’s only hurting the child because they aren’t able to experience certain things. Having a child will make people feel richer than having all the money in the world. Also when people have children (even-though the children may hate their parents at times) they will have a bond with their parents that no one can break and that’s called unconditional love. The bond that people achieve with their children will continue on throughout all of their lives. The effects of becoming a parent are very rewarding even-though a parent may have less money, less free time and a lot more responsibilities than before. When a woman goes through nine months to carry a child she will experience things she would have never dreamed of before. We all love our children but it may be hard for some people to see the benefits of becoming a parent with all the extra challenges. When people experience that amazing feeling of tenderness when their child falls asleep in their arms it’s indescribable. Having children can help people re-live some of the most treasured times from their childhood. When my children aren’t around I feel lost and out of place. My children has changed my life for the better and helped me realize how much I need them and they need me. Other adults may not be impressed with our normal abilities, but our children will be and view us as their hero. People can’t say they love one child more than the other because we will grow the same amount of love for each child. Spending quality time with each individual child will become a rewarding experience for the child and the parent. That child can and will remember more than we realize throughout their lives. What parents do and how they do things will reflect on our children. We as parents help our children become smart, loving people that will touch the lives of other people one day. That in its self will bring us a sense of rewarding joy and comfort. Other parents may notice how well-behaved, and the relationship that mothers and fathers have with their child. The effects of someone noticing how well the parents are doing will feel very rewarding. We achieve motivation as parents to want to succeed and not fail in anything that we may do. Becoming a parent is one of the most rewarding and enjoyable things I could have ever done for myself. It can be one of the greatest accomplishments a person can achieve. It isn’t always going to be easy, there can be long and stressful moments, but in the end it will pay off. The memories that people make will remind them of all the good accomplishments that they made. Mothers and fathers will strive to be better people in any give task. Becoming a parent will make us proud of the person that we have become and the person that our children will become. There are many things in life to be thankful for but having children can help us realize how much we have to be thankful for. Becoming a parent is one of the best things a person can ever do for his or her self.
