Having children is the life goal of every woman. But after giving birth to a child, their life starts to go astray. Why is it so? Are you a mother? Do you have such a problem? How can you make your life better?
Remember, every baby is very unique. So, there is no complete resemblance to another baby and no comparison. A mother must train her child for the future based on its physical and mental characteristics. You must develop the courage to open up and teach your children the right things. Never justify children’s mistakes or support them when they are doing wrong things. Convince them about their mistake and warn them about the consequences. Just as an angel lovingly rejects wrongful demands, you should not grant any unnecessary demands of children. Mothers should not work as advocates for their children. They are solely responsible for raising the children along with your husband. All children need discipline from the father and love from the mother. Children who get only one of these do not develop fully.
Home Kitchen is not a 24-hour restaurant. Prepare one meal for everyone in a household at a time. Don’t make separate meals unless there is a criticality. Remember, you are not the cook at home. Everyone in the house should be jointly responsible for preparing the food, washing the dishes, doing laundry, cleaning the house, etc. You must keep children with you in all works. Train them as a new employee placed in on-the-job training. An adult child should be responsible for all household chores. Home is the kids’ practice center for life events. Teach them the importance of health, time, money, virtues, and values. After marriage, children should be independent from their parents. They should have joint responsibility with their life partner. Parents should not interfere in their decisions or life. Train them on the fundamental principles of life and relationships. It is difficult to recover once lost.
Your children will love you only when you can love yourself. Educate your children that your life is precious. Your well-being, life goals, desires, and preferences are also important. Don’t lose them by living for the children. You have to develop your inner child. Remember, your husband is the most valuable person in your life, and kids are only second. Loving children does not mean letting them do whatever they want and doing everything on their behalf. Train them to perform their responsibilities and develop the necessary skills. Teach them to live with what they have rather than spending or feeling defeated. Train the kids in the value of time, money, relationships, health, virtues, priorities, support, and education. Forming the character and learning how to learn should be prioritized over higher education and the quality of life over money. Children brought up this way will be there to help you when you are old.
Many people say only a mother understands the pain of a mother. Others may wonder why a mother suffers such hardships alone.
