There are many things that maybe we look forward to in life but perhaps one that is a real game changer for most of us is when we have children. We recognize that it is not just something that comes and goes but rather, it is a long-term commitment and a project that we will be working on, long after they are adults. Of course, there are some people who decide not to have children and for them, they feel that parenting is giving up too much of themselves. We do recognize that we give up something when we have children but we gain so much more in return.
Parenting is difficult, and nobody is denying that fact. We may put our best foot forward every single day but on some days, we end up falling flat, regardless of our best efforts. Even though we may feel as if we are going to win an award because we are going to be the best parents of all time, very few of us see that to fruition and in most cases, we find that we are not necessarily winning at the parenting game.
One of the things that parents give up when they have children is a little bit of their freedom. Something that they don’t give up, however, is their humor. You can tell that when you look down through the following posts from parents who are winning in life.
