Do you learn from being a mommy?
Do you love growing better everyday?
Motherhood is a journey which needs a lions heart ,butterfly wings,two brains and at least Maa Durga’s ten hands.
These special powers of moms made us have this smashing prompt this week
“5 Important Lessons you learnt as a mom”
Patience
Strange thing this motherhood thing Ask anyone whether I am a patient soul ?
You will get a loud No. I was very impatient before I was a mommy. I am still impatient with all things non-mommy ,but daughter brings out my most patient self.We have spent hours together drawing and coloring.
With her I rediscovered my joy with all things creative.
Childhood second time around is even more fun.
Not raising my voice
I was a screamer .Okay I still can be very high pitched(read screamer) and exasperating when angry .But this route cuts no cake with my daughter. She insists I smile at her while I scold her.Trying doing that .It comes out as a grimace .But my daughter doesn’t rest till I give a proper smile.In the meantime I forget what I was angry about. I think the little one follows a set plan.
I discovered superpowers
It’s tiring but you will discover your secret super powers .When you are under a microscope darling,better be at your best.I blog, cook, run, read ,writeand I am a doctor-teacher in a medical college .See that sounds crazy.But it’s because my daughter helps me with this .We have study time together .Problem is me being on the laptop is work .Her on the laptop is fun.So we have tug of war about who is working and who is not .Net result I read a lot of books when she is writing,doing math .
I realized if I want her to have good habits,better work on myself Being an example works better than telling !I as a child insisted on examples and proof.
Empathy for all moms everywhere
SAHM,WAHM,working moms,single moms,moms everywhere we all do our best.But its always difficult.Wherever you are ,if you are a mommy ,know this.We are there with you.Together we will do it.We do our best with what we have .
Sorry mommy for being difficult.It would be impossible to be my own mom.I have a never ending list of Why’s .Plus I need proof .Get the drift.My poor mommy had a struggle because I really didn’t get โbecause mommy says soโ.
So raising kind ,nice, fun ,creative and obedient children is definitely more difficult than rocket science .
I am concentrating on giving her life skills. I do wipe her tears when she gets hurt .But I also teach her to wipe her own tears and be strong.If her friend doesn’t play with her ,I remind her she has 15 other friends .Life skills it’s only us.
It’s a no holds barred ,roller coaster ride
Motherhood is fun .You are a Disney Princess, when you make a pigtail before going to bed.You are more beautiful than anyone else in the world.You will be her bestie. Plus you get to cuddle and smell the baby smell all the time.What’s not to like right ?Its fun ,its the best feeling in the world to be a mom.
My angel is going to be 5 on 23rd of February. 5 years flew by and we now dance ,sing,draw, tickle daddy and online window shopping together.
My lessons of motherhood continue with every passing day.Its a little different everyday.Its a life long degree at the University of life.

Thanks Kusum
A Busy Bees Life says
These are all great and I am learning so much too! I am definitely not a patient person except when it comes to my little one, only with him do I have the patience of a saint.
dramrita says
Thanks Sheri

Akshata (@Awestruck_Aks) says
Such a lovely post Amrita. Motherhood changes all of us in ways which we least expect but its always for the better. I could almost imagine you and your daughter doing all these lovely things together. Heartwarming indeed
dramrita says
Absolutely true.its always for the better.
Iam_agog says
I love the superpowers Amrita, I have started identifying with mine :-). Lovely read.
Neha says
Yup lots of time+dedication+ unending questions + responsibilities of raising a good human= one crazy ride called mommy!
dramrita says
Yes it is crazy.Thank you .
Gleefulblogger says
Empathise, Patience & yes no barrels hold…. i absolutely agree with your points. I get to learn new lesson everyday.. motherhood is fun if one has the right approach towards it. Enjoyed your writing as always; )
dramrita says
Thanks Dipika .Hope to see you writing with us for Thankful Thursdays soon.
Geethica says
All the points are valid Amrita. My small boy also wants me to smile back at him when I am scolding him. He doesn’t listen to my words but constantly looks at my face to know that when I will smile things will be back to normal. Kids are really a new lesson everyday.
dramrita says
Really thats actually very cute and you end up smiling.Dont you?
upasna1987 says
5 is a big milestone, wishes to her. Patience is what I am developing with every passing day. I think I need it more in future. Happy to linkup.
dramrita says
Yes patience is a virtue.Wonder why we dont have extra reserves.
Mahati Ramya adivishnu says
Yes, motherhood sure is a roller coaster. I too learned to show empathy to other moms whether SAHM or working. I didn’t have this feeling before having kids. Even my respect to my mother doubled after managing my kids ๐
dramrita says
Yes emapthy is hard earned quality.
dew cool says
Yes , to be a mom is not a easy task & you mange & deal with your kids so well despite being busy in your profession Thanks for sharing this with us
the bespectacled mother says
Motherhood is so much with all its learnings. It makes us a better person and also adds fun to our otherwise boring grown-up life. I discovered I can be creative in terms of doing craft with my son and also in making him do things he wouldn’t do otherwise. Happy birthday to your little girl. Turning 5 is a big milestone in a child’s life and as well as in the mother’s.
dramrita says
Thank you.
deepagandhi says
I agree with the empathise point. Once we become moms, we understand ups and downs of motherhood and can easily empathise with other moms. You are doing a good job with motherhood and everything else Amrita. ๐
