The irony of parenthood

Barie, my mother-in-law, shared the irony of parenthood with me. We lose control when we become fathers and mothers. She's correct. As soon as we take on this responsibility, we grow as role models and leaders and decision-makers: but for someone else not always for ourselves. I am sure that all of the parents who have ever existed have made similar comments to themselves: I will not do what my parents did, I will be different, I will never offer because as a reason. We make these statements because we think that we are in control. We are never in control. We are the plebeian masses who attempt to exert control exactly because we do not know everything. Give it up.

Eventually, we all do what we do in order to put our children first. Listen to me: my child is only five days old. I am sure that once I learn that I am a father, I will put Mads first. She clearly controls our house right now. I mean, look what she is wearing.
