Happy Mothers Day

Whats in a Parenting Blog without a Mothers Day Post ? But still, Whats in a Mothers Day for a Mom who is pampered everyday just as her special day .....

Kids pamper me. Every other day they thrill me with ......

* Small bunch of roadside flowers collected with love

* Bits of love notes stuck all around the house

* Cool lemonades prepared with wrong proportion of sugar & lemon juice may turn out too sweet or too sour but they are in right proportion of love & care

* Applying Nail Polish for me with Stucco Effect

* Feeding me with their leftover cookies, lollipops and what not

* Taking my side whenever we have a family tussle

* Considering myself to be their all in all problem solver like the bug killer, the jammed jar opener, the lego tower builder, the big bubble blower, the high shelves things reacher etc...Mom is their Super Hero

* Instant watery eyes when I am hurt or in pain

* Believing strongly "Mom Knows". Mom knows the spelling of everything, how to win more tickets in Chuck-e-cheese, how to eat icecream without dripping...

* Sensing my emotions too fast like a robotic wonder with powerful sensors

* Singing my own crooked versions of lullaby for me

* Hugs & Kisses whenever I feel unsecured

Everyday is "Mothers Day" for moms who treasure their kids ........

Love your Parents

"The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new."

"The best years of your life are the ones in which you decide your problems are your own. You do not blame them on your mother, the ecology, or the president. You realize that you control your own destiny."

"I remember my mother's prayers and they have always followed me. They have clung to me all my life."

"Mother love is the fuel that enables a normal human being to do the impossible."

"How pleasant it is for a father to sit at his child's board. It is like an aged man reclining under the shadow of an oak which he has planted."

Love Your parents !

Grand Parents are God Sent Parents, Why?

Kids love their Parents more….

Kids love their Grand Parents more and more and more …

This is a Universal Truth. Why is it so? Let us ponder the reasons behind this widely accepted fact.

It’s the Parents who toil day in and day out for the child. But a lion’s share of Kids love goes to the Grand Parents…Why? Just for the following simple reasons……

	PArents	Grand PArents
At the thought of child’s future	Worry	Cheer up
When kids ask to carry them for a long while	Feel very tired	Feel very privileged for it
During story time	Tell fairy tales	Tell family tales
When kids make fun of them for being bald or fat	Show sharp temper just not being able to accept their own flaws	Enjoy the kids Sense of Humor but corrects them
When kids imitate their Parents’ misbehaviors	Advice – “Do as I say, not as I do”	Relishes how their Grandchild is their own child’s replica
When kids behave too childishly they say …	Kid is not acting big enough	Kid will no longer be a child, so let it be ….
Think miracles happen when …	Knowledge is dumped	Bonding takes shape
Life	Worry a lifetime for simple moments	Make simple moments last a lifetime
Time	“Sorry dear, no time now” – always in a rush	“Come lets do it together” – have enough time on hand

There are much more reasons too…Grand Parents are indeed God Sent Parents to kids.
