On the Tenth Day of #12DaysOfParenting 2015

"On the Tenth Day of Christmas - How I Thought I would Parent vs How I Actually Parent" is the today's topic for #12DaysOfParenting. Welcome to my blog if you are hopping over from Joanna Victoria.

My wise Mother told me pre-children to not say "I would NEVER let my child do that... or my child would NEVER act that way ..." because you may be surprised. When I became a Mother, I had this new sense of respect for my parents. I always believed that they were amazing parents but I did not understand the challenges they faced raising my siblings and me until I became a parent. 

Being a parent is probably the hardest job I have ever had. My children bring the best out of me but also showcase the worst part of my personality. I have moments that I find myself being so frustrated that I want to scream but then the next moment I am so happy cuddling one of my children. 

I truly hope my children will remember the happy times in the future instead of when I hide in the bathroom to escape from them. My children challenge me everyday to be a better parent and evolve with their changing personalities. 

We are only days from Christmas and we are just more excited to make new memories and for yummy food.
