Parenthood

Before becoming a parent, I didn’t realize that it was a big responsibility to become a parent. When I was single, I lived like simple people, I worked and enjoyed my life. After getting married, first I thought, "When will I have a baby?" I think I was that age when all women would want to be a mother. When my daughter was born, I was so happy. I thought this was the biggest happiness, which increases every year. In my opinion, the child is the strength and foundation of the family. Now I know how hard it is to be a parent. Every time I remember what my father said, "No matter what age the child is, you should respect them". Now I raise my daughter with those words.
