There is no book or class out there to prepare you for the adventures you are about to endure as a parent. It’s a jolly good roller coaster ride with its own ups and downs. No one is ever ready to take on the role of a parent; something will always come up, and things will happen that need to be done before you are, in fact, “ready.” I myself have been there. At the age of 25, I got the news that I was going to be a mom. Was I ready?
As I enter my second year as “mmmm…mah” here are few things I learnt in this year with Twisha.
* For those who warned me about the perils coming my way, it wasn’t that bad. The initial bit, yes it was. But not so much anymore.
* You get to be a kid again with your child. No one judges you for that.
* I quit my job when Twisha was here. It was a mindful decision and I don’t regret it. She is my top priority and responsibility​.
* Suddenly there’s a change in my friend circle. I still keep in touch with some of my close friends, but I've made new friends with other women who have kids around Twisha’s age.
* Oh yes, you have to behave like a matured grown up. Take decisions which a 20 something may not take.
* Sudden superhero with an invisible cape. Multi tasking is now the new thing. I have unleashed a side of me that I didn’t know.

.

* Cram in most of my adult things during her naps and bedtime.
* Right to privacy is officially over. I won't even be able to pee alone. [A lot of moms will agree on this]
* Getting ready to leave the house will require 10 times more effort and 100 times more planning than it ever did.
* Lastly, I have a young individual who is mirroring all my actions. I need to be super duper careful not just in my actions but also my language.
