I love my self, my husband,
But, I love my children the most.
They are my pure love,
My uncut diamonds.
Being a parent is not a burden,
It is a privilege  I cherish.
I comfort them through their tears, tantrums and nightmares.
I am there in their smiles,
Laughter,sadness and happiness.
Still I am a parent first,
Many times I hear," You don't like me".
"I hate you".
Because I love,care and worry about them,
I have to discipline them.
I bug them about their whereabouts,
Say no to certain things,
Ground them,
Make them clean their rooms,
Do chores around the house,
Run errands.
Most importantly I let them founder, tumble and fail so they can stand alone on their two feet.
