Being a hypocrite raises kids who substitute arrogance for attitude and offensiveness for opinions. You have to be the person you would want your child to want to mirror. Are we that person? Are you everything you want your daughter to be? Its a hard test.... <br /><br />I had to sum up in 5 bulleted points who I am and I realised I was<br />a younger sibling, born to a brilliant man and a compssionate but firm woman, happily married to a good man and learnt something new from my 4-year-old everyday. Only one point was about me. <br /><br />We are the sum total of the people around us. I am a merged reflection of the people I see around me - most of all my parents. <br /><br />They will be too. In trying to raise a certain kind of kid we have forgotten how important it is to be better people. How is our nanny feeling? Maybe we can get that glass of water ourselves. Maybe we shouldnt urge to chauffeur to hurry the hell up and speak between cenched teeth. <br /><br />Its hard. I m the way I am but I dont know if I want m,y daughtet to be. She can be so much more.Rqhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15372283801774197480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6358045402961766098.post-36268663343560608882009-07-23T05:41:50.373-07:002009-07-23T05:41:50.373-07:00How true....and so well put!! Infact, this questio...How true....and so well put!! Infact, this question has always bothered me. More so now...I mean having worked with kids for so long people expect that I am gonna be a perfect mom with perfect kids. I've read so much and practised too, but now when its my turn..I feel I know nothing about parenting or kids. Its funny. I do admit I am excited and scared I hope I do everything right!!!Ruchitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16592934795164836682noreply@blogger.com
