The Parenting Experience

I guess you are now keenly aware that pregnancy takes nine months and in nine months, another human being will be brought into this world that is completely and totally dependent on you for everything, and that is going to look to you to be his or her provider.

It is a daunting proposition. You will start looking back and think of the days where you have no children. Then you start to think about all of the things that he or she will have to go through, like turning around and crying inside the infant bedding, being picked on in school, or falling off of a bicycle for the first time, or having his or her heart broken, and you start to wonder if you made the right choice. Parenting is one of those things in life where you cannot learn through hearsay or other people’s experience. You can only know how it feels when you become a parent yourself.
