I suppose there is no text book out there about parenting. I look at my life and how my mother raised both my brother and me and I feel that she did an incredible job.
In fact I feel she did a 'too' good job and I am worried about my future with my family. There seems to be a lot of growing up when parenting in a short amount of time. There seems to be some improvising and last minute decisions that nee ed to be made.
As I write this I start to think about theatre. Yes, I am an actor. Well, going back to my point; like theatre parent takes loads of courage and stamina. When things are getting tough, you need to put on that make up of wisdom and fake it 'til you make it.
Ok that was crap insight but as I start to look back in my life, the last 21 years of course, I realise how tough it was for my mother. I begin to think whether I will be able to take in all the hard work and troubles that takes to make a good family and raise good children.
Perhaps I should have some faith in me and that faith in God that He will make things smoother and more fruitful.
