Working Parent
Feb 27, 2019 5 years agoWorking Parents Being a working parent isn't as easy as you'd think. There is so much that comes along with being a working parent. There's even more than enough that comes with being a single working parent. As parents we understand that our children have to be fed, clothed, and sheltered, but let's face it, if we were on our own, living in our cars would suffice. Becoming an adult itself already requires simply trying to survive. Now we have to add these small, attention seeking, extremely energetic wall bouncing children into our daily routines. Don't get me wrong, being a parent is an amazing feature that life has to offer. But, being a working parent can be bitter sweet. We're given 9 hours each day to simply breathe without any hassle, but if you're like me then the customers you're dealing with daily surpass the feeling of wanting to crawl into a hole over your child's “terrible” stages. Sadly, being a working parent causes you to miss out on so many new things your child is learning. Like how to snatch snacks from other children at daycare, and of course the simple fact of growth. Depending on our work schedules, we aren't able to wake up and blast music while making pancakes and annoying our neighbors every morning as we wish we could. We aren't able to sleep in and wake up to our children kicking us in the face while laughing because they've learned how to cause harm toward us. For some of us we aren't even able to read the Dr Seuss book that we honestly couldn't care less about, but our children love hearing about green eggs and ham while being tucked in because they feel safe in hearing our voices. We are forced to finish a full day routine in 24 hours and sometimes we barely have space to take a deep breath and count to ten. Our routines become so repetitive that we don't even care about the dishes that have been sitting in the sink since the night before, but at least we have that few seconds to enjoy a daily laugh in disbelief of how much our children resemble us. We are working parents who are providing for the children of the future. Lets face it, some day our kids can be the president of the United States or possibly work at McDonald's for the rest of their lives, but in the end we've learned to balance being a parent and having a career and someday our children will have the same bitter yet sweet struggle of having children while successfully managing to have a career.

Feb 27, 2019 5 years agoHow amazing is it to have a person growing inside of you? I mean honestly, imagine yourself inside of your mothers stomach swimming around while kicking and punching her. We are obviously kicking and punching because we literally are limited on space, but to her and everyone around her it's amazing that a life is growing in her stomach. It's amazing that God chose her to bear something so sweet and innocent. Something that can cause her no harm. It is amazing that she can finally feel that everlasting love from someone who would never think to leave her on her own. Having a child isn't meant to be easy. We are literally carrying an entire life for 9 months, while potentially putting our lives in danger. On February 6, 2016, I gave birth to a prince who will forever have my heart. Of course, I had and still have days that I cry because I'm amazed at how amazing he a turning out to be. I cry tears of joy because I am raising someone to be civilized in our society today. I'm raising someone to respect women and treat women as if without us he is nothing. God gave my son to me in a time of need and now I completely understand what it means to be a superhero. I, as well as many of you, are superwomen.
