Jab aap parent bante ho na,
toh koi aapko koi manual nahi deta.
Koi nahi batata ki—
Baby raat ko baar-baar roye toh kya karna hai.
Toddler supermarket mein tantrum kare toh kaise handle karna hai.
Ya phir jab aap khud bahut tired ho aur samajh nahi aa raha ho ki,
**"Main sahi kar bhi rahi hoon ya nahi?"**
Phir bhi...
Har parent kisi na kisi tarah shuru karta hai.
Ek chhote se baby ko arms mein lekar,
mind mein hazaar questions lekar,
aur dil mein ek aisa love lekar, jo usne pehle kabhi feel nahi kiya hota.

Raat ke 3:17 baj rahe hain.
Aap bahut tired ho.
Baby bhi ro raha hai.
Laundry abhi bhi pending padi hai.
Kitchen mein dishes bhi clean karni hain.
Aur subah ke breakfast ka bhi kuch decide nahi hua hai.
Aap clock ki taraf dekhte ho
aur samajh nahi aata ki ab kya karein.
Us moment mein aapka mann karta hai ki koi bas aapko bata de—
**"Ab kya karna hai?"**
Tabhi baby rona band kar deta hai
aur apni chhoti si ungli se aapki finger pakad leta hai.
Phir aap uski pyari si smile dekhte ho...
Aur kuch pal ke liye aapki saari pareshani khatam ho jaati hai.
Aap tired the.
Bahut zyada tired the.
Lekin us moment mein aapko ek baat samajh aati hai—
**Shayad parenting ka matlab har cheez ka answer jaana nahi hai.**
Shayad parenting ka matlab hai...
**bas har baar present rehna.**
Jab aap tired ho, tab bhi.
Jab aap confused ho, tab bhi.
Jab aapko lage ki aap perfect parent nahi ho, tab bhi.

Aur phir...
Agli subah naye challenges ke saath shuru hoti hai.
Breakfast jal jaata hai.
Toddler milk gira deta hai.
Aur jaise hi aap khana khane baithte ho,
baby phir rone lagta hai.
Aur tabhi...
Aap muskura dete ho.
Isliye nahi ki sab kuch perfect ho gaya.
Balki isliye kyunki aapne seekh liya hai ki parenting ke iss beautiful chaos mein...
**kabhi-kabhi hasna bhi zaroori hai.**
Kyuki parenting perfect hone ka naam nahi hai.
Ye seekhne ka naam hai.
Har din thoda seekhna.
Kabhi galti karna.
Kabhi hasna.
Kabhi thak jaana.
Aur phir bhi...
**agle din dobara try karna.**
Because parenting may not come with a manual,
**but love has always been the best guide.** ❤️
