Whenever she shouts at me, a piece of my heart shatters
I grew up in a quiet household, a literal quiet place wherein emotions and thoughts are set aside and we just need to stay silent on whatever is going on. Such stuff was trivial until we discovered that one family member was diagnosed with bipolar disorder.
In the hindsight, we think that our setup is pretty typical but my mom always has a hard time with her pent-up emotions and frustrations. She doesn't hurt us by always crying at night asking what is wrong with her and how she raised us.
Now being a parent somehow I understand, that moms and parents at times don't want to burst out on their children if possible they will just hurt themselves instead rather than hurt their kids.
although there are different ways parents raise their children, i just realized that the relevancies are really there. idagdag ko lang kuya ang natutunan ko which i hope is making a point na parenting is not an easy thing to do kaya it should be better na ready ka and prepared sa mga responsibilities na kakaharapin, and kung hindi nalang i think wag na maging parent kasi napababayaan lang ang mga anak.
anw, thaank you for sharing your perspective as a parent po!!! it allows me to more get insights and knowledge.
Nako Esme, kahit gaano ka prepared talaga there will be a point na you will be thinking ready ba talaga ako magkaroon nang anak especially for women sobrang dami ng changes sa buhay ang mangyayari to the point na mapapabayaan mo na ang sarili mo din especially pag maliit pa si baby.
Ayts masarap maging parent sobrang rewarding sya pero marami talaga challenges hahaha
ah ganoon po pala talaga anooo, juskoo im proud sa inyo poo!
