Parenthood

Parenthood isn't easy but CORONA WAVE turned it into something more CHALLENGING. In the start of the month of March, I got an email from my daughter's school that due to CORONA VIRUS SPREAD schools are closing for extra 2 weeks as mentioned for spring break for precautionary measures. Kids were happy and parents were little worried. Then this thing extended to weeks to months later.

In between all this time like most parents I have been trying to teach my kids A LITTLE AND KEPT THEM BUSY for a few weeks. At first I thought it will be as easy as making cupcakes or baking their favourite pizza but believe me or not it was a terrible experience though.

From toddler refusing to cooperate to older siblings hitting each other when I turn my back, throwing water on each others’ paintings, running and shouting around me like a cyclone, ignoring my presence and existing as if I am as imaginary as a dinosaur. The constant complaints about the work they have to complete. Everyday I try to come up with some new ideas which they refuse and do something insane and jump in the house dressing like princess and Mr. Spiderman. The house looks like a War zone 24/7.

One day when I gave them a challenge to paint something beautiful in 20 minutes and left to prepare dinner, when I returned I was about to get a mini heartattack when I saw them because they painted each other and table and floor, their toys and clothes, the beautiful wallpaper and everything they think they could PAINT BEAUTIFULLY and I used my tears to clean the crusty paint that day.

This home learning is a challenge and I truly appreciate teachers for their patience and hard work.

I am praying my heart out that everything gets back to normal really soon. Life, health, relations, going to school, walking in the park, meeting randomly, shaking hands, breathing freely...and so many things and every other thing is a blessing and now we should be thankful to God for A NORMAL HAPPY HEALTY PEACEFUL LIFE.
