1My child can never be someone else's so as I am no parent to someone else's child.
So simple yet easily forgotten that results to unsolicited advices and judgement. We forget that every child, even every parent, is different. We cannot expect others to be brought up the way we were or parent the way we do.
Parenting do need guidance, but in the end, parents need to work it out on their own. Parents grow and learn as their children do. There is no manual in being a parent nor being a child. We could only hope that parents thrieve along with their children in the right direction.
Mothers or parents get usually judged when they celebrate the first year birthday of their children. It's more than just celebrating the child's birthday, but it's also to celebrate the first year of parenthood especially for new parents. Even though it would be your second or third child every year or every time you raise a kid would be different from each other. That is the reason why the first birthday is so much more special. It would be nice if we could be kind to the parents who just want to celebrate the life that was given to them and the strength that enabled them to survive the first year of life or the first year of parenthood. Next time that we see a grand celebration for just a 1-year-old child, let's understand that it's more than just the child's birthday.
