They say life changes once you have kids, truer words have never been spoken.
In the last 4 months I have come to realize a lot about myself and my new lifestyle. While others never learn from having kids, I did. I’ve come to realize that Nathan always comes before anything, whether that is my phone, the internet or a hobby. I can be in the middle of texting a friend back and forth and if Nathan starts crying or Paula needs me help with him that phone goes down. My really good friend Pam understands, she knows when I’m busy with him because we could be in mid-conversation on GTalk and next thing you know I don’t reply for an hour or two. Others still put their own happiness/pleasure before their children and it just blows my mind. If those people would put as much effort into their children that they do with the internet/phone/hobbies their life may be a little different. I feel sorry those children, I really do.
Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that you need to give up everything for your child(ren) but there is a time and a place for it. Your child(ren) have to come first! For instance, sometimes I don’t get to check my Facebook once I’m off work (I have plenty of free time at work) so it waits until I’m laying in bed and Nathan is asleep and even then I just browse through it quickly. Some may say what they are doing is to better their child(ren) lives, but in actuality it’s hurting them and all you are doing is creating an excuse to put your child(ren) second. I’ll never understand these people but we only learn from what we are taught and maybe those people were treated the same way by their parents.
Moral of the story? Put your kids before yourself, ALWAYS!
You may now resume your normal internet browsing. LOL
