Never I Thought

Never I think, it could be so hard...As my Mum pretends it to be a cakewalk... 

Never did I think it could be so hard.. to be a mother. 

It all started as ... carrying the foetus for 9 long months, including the cravings, vomits and uneasiness...

I tried my best to handle it all, as I thought the ordeal would not last long...

Again it came....as a labour pain...

Strongly I stood with courage...

And lo! the placenta was cut, and the baby was out with the noisy and creaky bang...

Oh! I sighed and cried.... the ordeal is over now.

Life seemed to be happy and perfect, whenever I gazed at my little bundles of joy...

I simply enjoyed the restless days and sleepless nights...

For the love, I had for the cutest troubles in my life.

And I thought and cried ... the ordeal is over now...

Because never did I think it could be so hard...

As my Mum pretends it to be a cake-walk.

At times, it was a painting ear or a high fever...

A vaccine pain, or simply a nappy rash...

But all it caused was panic and fear...

Dragging the children to the school every day.

Handling their homework and projects with care...

Their never-ending tantrums, school teachers' complaints, and of course the yucky, smelly shoes and socks, could never shake me up.

As always... I thought the ordeal is over now...

Because never did I think it could be so hard.

As my Mum pretends it to be a cakewalk...

And, with a twist, my son entered the 'teens'...

I wondered, whether or not, I crossed my 'teens'...

Because of the sensitivity, they have.... we never had...

Our ears were squeezed and we were screwed as always...

With no exception to the supersensuous 'Teenage '...

Oh, God! Help me, please !!!! As this ordeal has no end --- for sure...

Never did I think it could be so hard...

As my Mum pretends it to be a cakewalk...

As I look at my Mum, I feel she is still facing the ordeal, which is so hard...

Pretending it to be a cakewalk...

Let me change my perception...

Parenting is something like "CABLISTRUCKTRGNOL" huh whatever 

But seriously not a CAKEWALK
