Day 19!

Day 19: Disrespecting your parents.
Well, becoming a parent has changed my perspective a lot on this. Not that I ever thought it's okay to not listen to your parents or at least pretend to take their advice. :) I never realized how challenging it would to be a parent and Madelynn is only 9 months old! While I love being a mom to her, it does get hard sometimes. I found this great quote that showed the high ideals I had while I was pregnant!
Before I got married I had six theories about bringing up children; now I have six children, and no theories. ~John Wilmot

So I guess the point I'm trying to make is that it's important to be understanding of your parents. You never realize the stress of being a parent until you actually have children. Whether it's worrying about health concerns, sleeping issues, there is a lot to think about as a parent. While there is a lot of joy in having children, it's definitely not the easiest thing I have ever done. After having Madelynn, I realized just how much my parents actually loved my sister and I because it is a difficult adjustment. However, looking at Madelynn definitely makes it all worth it! :) Be nice to your parents and hopefully if you have kids, they will do the same!

Happy Memorial Day tomorrow and remember to thank those who are serving/who have served our country!
