Monday Mommy moments:5 Lessons I learnt as a Mother

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 “because mommy says so”.

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.

  1. 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.

  2. This is so so true Amrita…i am sure we all have learnt a lot being a mom but for me Patience wins hands down i mean i was so impatient i am still but with Nirvik my patience gets tested every second.
    AllThatsMom

  3. 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

  4. 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; )

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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 🙂

  8. 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

  9. 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.

  10. 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. 🙂
