IT'S JUST A PHASE

.

Early motherhood years are tough and trying. And as much as young kids act as stress busters, in an inexplicable way,; they are also a kind of stress givers too.

.

Of late he has become an obstinate child with a violent temper. He refuses to budge if he isn’t given what he wants.

I have been that mom who has tried to handle the situation by love, persuasion, diversion, or even resorting to more uncalled for means like shouting and screaming. I’m not particularly proud of them, but sometimes things do tend to go a little out of hand calling for more serious action when nothing else works.

.

And believe me, no amount of reasoning works with a headstrong almost three-year-old. And of late I have been talking and shouting and screaming so much that I have begun to get irritated at the sound of my own voice. Why does motherhood have to involve so much talking? Not that I’m complaining or I don’t love talking but it is insane how much talking motherhood involves every day.

.

Motherhood is unlike any other job in the whole world –;you never get off the clock.;But then, there’s no better job than motherhood. After having legitimately worn out at work and having a frustrating episode of mothering with my unreasonable toddler in addition to having a hotchpotch of other confusing mothering feelings, when my little one snuggles into me finding comfort in my arms I feel perplexed from a feeling of contrastingly mixed emotions.

.

There’s no denying that parenting is tough and motherhood is indeed confusing but what’s also true is the love. So even when I’m stressed with responsibilities that come with helping this tiny human grow up the way I’d like him to, I constantly need to remind myself to enjoy this phase because I won’t be having these same worries once he grows up a little.

.

I want my motherhood to be coloured and shaped with the right kind of choices that I make and the right kind of attitude that I bring in with me.;And for that, I need to keep reminding myself that in the grand scheme of things it’s really just a phase.
