Spoiled

"Don't spoil your child!" A phrase many parents have heard. By definition, spoiling your child means indulging their wants, bending rules as they see fit, and breaking down all boundaries to fit their preferences. Thus, there are times when people mislable providing as an act of spoiling one's child. 

People get so hung up to how they were raise and end up labeling things they were't provided as a child as a luxury and shouldn't be given to children of the present. It is unfortunate thhat children aren't always provided withtheor needs and at times this results to adults not being able to heal their inner child. This leads to a cycle of retribution for the past. As a parent, this is a cycle we must break. Despite anyone's opinion, parents sole focus must be on their child's needs and that these needs are provided without overcompensating. 

If you can provided then why not. If you cannot orovide it then that's that. Look for an alternative or work harder. And these things shouldn't be viewed as spoiling a child.

The First Year

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.

Fleeting

Raising a child is just a fleeting moment. Everything that seems so endless will just fade into memory.  Sleepless nights gets better. Days get much more easier. Children get tougher. In a moment you are their world. The next second they create their own world.  Right now you decide whats best for them. Soon they take on their own responsibilities. As much as we want to keep them safe right beside us, they need and will learn to make mistakes and learn from them.  As much as we want to pass on our wisdom, they will build their own through their experiences.  As one once said "Us parents, we are just but a memory to our children." The best we could do is to make memories that will hopefully guide them into the right path and will strengthen them through out challenges.
