You don't get to choose when you want to be a parent.
You don't get to choose when you want to wake up.
You don't get to choose when you want to pee.
You don't get to choose when you want to bath.
You don't get to choose when you want to sleep in.
You don't get to choose when you can have a Sunday nap.
You don't get to choose when you'll sleep through the night again.
You don't get to choose when your kid will stop throwing tantrums.
You don't get to choose to cop out.
You don't get to choose when you having a bad day to stop being attentive.
It's a child, a child that relies on you.
He relies on your love daily.
He relies on you to bath him.
To feed him.
To dress him.
To make his juice.
To change his nappies.
To take him to school.
To fetch him from school.
To listen.
To pay his bills.
To comfort him.
To play with him.
To discipline him.
Not some days or when you feel like it, every minute of every day you are a parent and if you not ready for that don't have one.
So true! If only I could do the "sleep through the night one" then I'd be able to deal much better with the rest ;)
