Responsibility

Being a parent is the biggest responsibility there is in life. 

 
Once you take it on it’s a 24/7 job for the rest of your life.
 
If you have a partner you are taking on the easy and hard part together. It’s easier because the responsibility is shared but it’s hard for the same reason.
 
Becoming a parent does impact your relationship – some for the better and some not so. It’s learning to compromise about a whole other topic.
 
Discovering your partner’s parenting style can cause frustrations and arguments or give you joy.
 
A lot of people just ‘go with the flow’ rather than create a parenting plan. Some people know how they want to parent but often their perception is limited to how they were parented.
 
There is a lot of information out there but I found there was a lot of information missing. Stuff I learned while parenting. Important stuff. 
Firstly, good on you for taking on this responsibility and I’m proud of you for wanting to raise your kids with integrity – that’s a plus in anyone’s eyes. It’s a win/win for all.
I’d also like to let you know that if you’re about to become a parent, or are in the early years of parenting, I help parents develop their unique parenting plan. If you’re interested in my Big Picture Parenting plan and want to know more just direct message me ‘BPP’ and I’ll get back to you.
Hey, don’t forget to let your know when and how you’re seeing them practice responsibility – your child needs praise often. 🙂
