Nobody told you the hardest thing being a parent is not 

Waking up for night feeds and diaper change

Teaching ABCs and 123

But it’s accepting the child including the bad behaviours 

Loving the child and keep choosing to love despite 

(Now I know why we always feel rejected when we were just a young child) 

Correcting bad behaviours customising to the child’s personality which you, as a parent, knows better

(This, personality, you know, is a part of yours)

Nobody ever told you one of the hardest thing of being a parent is not having to handle meltdowns in piblic

raising and caring for the child with little or no support

It is you will have to parent your partner and sometimes yourself 

It is asking yourselves again and again how should you react or respond in every situation - adulting

Knowing your bad response was reflected through your “misbehaved” child 

We know the worry and fear before the child is born - is he developing and growing well

 When child is a little older, we worry if he receives good education and if he’s socially adaptable and acceptable 

And we worry if he grows to be a fine young man with a bright future and life ahead

On a side note, I now know why people rants on social media. It’s just a hope to be embraced with a listening ear and empathic heart. (Reminder to self on parenting a teen in the many years down the road)

25 March 2019

A female boss. A female subordinate of many years. Probably a good 15 years.

A strong female authoritative character. A seemingly meek female subordinate. "Subordinated" for good long years.

A mother. So distant and aloof or perhaps much dislike. A rejected and dejected daughter. Longing for the approval of the authoritative character yet angry at the same time.

Angry that their voice is unheard. Upset that their "obedience" "submission" did not gain the desired approval.

Stucked.

What used to be normal is no longer normal.

When people ask about what you have had for lunch or who you are with..... And all you can sense is such jealousy and perhaps envy.

And kraziness.

When they themselves dun eat.

In the quiet, in the stillness
I know that You are God
In the secret of Your presence
I know there I am restored

When You call I won?t refuse
Each new day again I?ll choose

There is no one else for me
None but Jesus
Crucified to set me free
Now I live to bring Him praise

In the chaos, in confusion
I know You?re sovereign still
In the moment of my weakness
You give me grace to do Your will

So when You call I won?t delay
This my song through all my days

There is no one else for me
None but Jesus
Crucified to set me free
Now I live to bring Him praise

All my delight is in You, Lord
All of my hope, all of my strength
All my delight is in You, Lord, forevermore
