RE: Why You Need to Live for Yourself too and Not Just for Your Kids

in #ecotrain7 years ago

I think being a parent is one of the most difficult things one could do. Perhaps made so much more so by societal expectations (or even self made ones) to raise the perfect kid, who will be a little version of yourself. But that's not how life works. Children are their own people. Guidance, love (for your kids and for yourself), and genuine care and consideration help. These things matter more than money, more than throwing all the consumerist goods at them. And perhaps also being present within ourselves. Great post :)

Being a parent is the toughest thing I ever had to do, but you know what it is doable especially if you let go of the societal expectations like you said. Such wonderful advice you gave above. Thank you so much!
