Today, I started with writing about a role that once in our life we, females, would all perform. The role in itself is a huge responsibility & adds to our character as we grow. As I was writing, I took a minute to look at my mom who has been running around the whole house making sure dad's tiffin was packed for office? Was the breakfast for her younger son ready as he was late for office? Supervising and shouting at maid for not cleaning properly? And in between all this grabbing a bite of sandwich which has gone cold while she was making sure the errands of the house go smoothly and people around her are happy.
This blog was supposed to be dedicated to mom's and their hardships but then seeing my mom in the hustle bustle of the home I realized this adjustment and compromise was not just only a few years old, it started the moment she decided she wanted to become a mother.
From the time when the thought occurred to the first time she conceived. From the first month of the pregnancy to all the nine months till the child was born and the whole process of growing up the child. At each and every step she compromised a little and adjusted a little more.
It wasn't easy for her, physically her body changed, mentally she was nervous and excited, both and overall her whole outlook on life changed. With understanding herself and her changed world, she was struggling to understand her baby too. The confusion when she does not understand her babies cry to her fear of not being the perfect mother. The happy moment when the baby first learns to crawl to the restlessness she goes through on the child's first day of school.
The constant fight in her to let them be or scolding them to be perfect and in tandem with society's do's and dont's. To the feeling of being left behind when your child makes new friends to the lonely phase when college starts. Each and every phase was and will always be a tough decision for mother's to make.
Twenty years before it was not an easy decision and twenty years later still it's not an easy to be a mother. Still, we ladies take this decision and be proud of it. Still, we love the child and are ready to relive that year again and again.
Why?
Because being a mother is not a necessity it's a decision our mothers took knowing the amount of sacrifice it needs and be responsible for giving the soul a chance to live in this beautiful world. A chance for the soul to experience, learn and grow. A chance only possible, if they would have agreed and decided to be a mother.
Being a mother is not a burden or a hassle as today's generation thinks, it's a chance, a rare opportunity for your personality to be blossom and experience multiple emotions which would not be possible if you do not become a mother.
To conclude my mother often says that we give motherhood a name of sacrifice and adjustments but it's really not that. Honestly, it's an "Unconditional Love" between a mother and her child.
