I was never too fond of children and I never dreamt that I would love being a mother of 2 ! In fact I always wondered why people ever had kids and how the hell did they manage them?!
Perceptions, ideologies and opinions are meant to change!
I realized sooner than later that having kids does not mark an end to your life. It helps you grow, learn and flourish. I felt much happier, much more content in life than I was without my kids. Here is a list of top 8 reasons why you must have at least a couple of kids:
1. Every day will be beautiful
No matter how your day has been, how cruel the world has been to you, a little hug at the end of the day will erase all your pains. With kids around, you will forget your problems and the world will be a beautiful place.
2. You will love your in-laws
When you have a couple of kids, chances are one of them will be like your in laws. And you will start understanding and loving your in laws (much more)!
3. You can stretch
A friend who is 10 years younger than me was recently amazed, she asked, "Like you even I spend so many hours in office. But you come back and manage the house and kids while I can do nothing but sleep!" Rewind 10 years, and I too was like her! The credit to the level one can stretch goes to their kids. Having kids makes you realize you can do so much more. With a couple of kids you will be working at your optimum efficiency level!
4. You can multitask
All of us are busy with our own lives. Now add two more lives that you need to tender. That's like increasing your work load by double. And yet, parents survive. Because they learn multitasking! So skilled will you become at multitasking that you would be able to apply it anywhere and get awesome results. If you are at office and have loads of work, you will find it no big deal if you are a parent!
5. You get a second chance
Having kids is like getting a second chance to grow up. You will be able to live life all over again in the form of your children! When you have a couple of kids one of them will be exactly like you - and you will see yourself grow up, and would be able to fix the wrongs you did while you grew up!
6. You will experience unconditional love
Kids are full of innocence. Their hearts are pure, filled with real love. While your life gets busier, kids add that sense of living. Kids teach you the true meaning of unconditional love.
7. You will re-learn and grow
While you try to give the best to your kids, you yourself will start following the good practices. For instance, eating healthy food, following a disciplined routine and building good habits. Parents are kid's best role models. So you will try to be good yourself so that kids will learn from you. While you set an example for your kids you will be adding value to your own life too.
8. You will learn to relax
"First child eats mud. Parent calls doctor. Second child eats mud. Parent cleans out mouth. Third child eats mud. Parent wonders if she really needs to feed him lunch." As you have more children you will know that you don't have to toil needlessly - your kids will be what they are destined to. Once you stop over-worrying you can safely relax and enjoy the journey together with your kids!
