When a baby is born, it is like being born again for the parents too. We relearn the basics in life. We learn to smile and laugh at life's small happiness. We learn to communicate, to read and to write. Who knows, we might even discover a new word.
We don't shy away from learning Gibberish.
It doesn't bother us to read children stories for the 1000th time or sing along to rhymes. Our youtube might be full of recommendations from cocomelon. Jingle bell will seem a likely choice of workout song.
Trying to getup again and again until we start standing on our own will be the new life hack. We learn that it is okay to fail sometimes and not everything happens as we expect.
We will find out new receipes that skillfully masks the taste of our child's least favourite vegetable. Sometimes we may find new favorite food for us. We will learn not to waste food.
We figure out multitasking on our own successfully, even though sadly it couldn't be included in our resume or appraisal mail. Time management becomes our life's motto.
All our bunked classes will come back to haunt us when preparing for kid's project. We oil our rusty brain with BODMOS and periodic table. All the physics laws that we struggled to understand will be laughing at us becoming Einstein and Newton to our kids.
Building blocks will become our new favourite table weight. Toys will be more to our taste than our child' . You will realize that you can take better character building classes than that guest in your office friday sessions.
Dealing with puberty the second time will still feel like your first time. Letting go will be tougher than in our life yet we do it. We would become life coach along with so many other things in life.
Children accept adults easily into their world. We should also learn to adapt to their lifestyle. We Learn to measure success in the way our kid behaves in the society.
We shouldn't try to rewrite our regrets with our kids. That only spells failure. Give your kids and yourself a chance to a new start and fresh view of life. You won't regret it.
Growing up along with your kids is a Gift. Cherish it. Come on Let's Grow up.
