What kind of parent do you want to be?

What kind of parent do you want to be? What kind of child(ren) do you want to have?

I hope my child(ren) will be independent but still rely on me.
I hope my child(ren) will be respectful but not afraid of me.
I hope my child(ren) will be happy but not overly contented.
I hope my child(ren) will be confident but not arrogant.
I hope my child(ren) will be disciplined but not restrained.
I hope my child(ren) will be resourceful, helpful and the list goes on...

I believe in making the extra effort to create the right environment for your child(ren). Nurturing takes lots of love and patience and whether you want to do it really depends on what you want your little ones to be like when they grow up. Just imagine what the child will grow up to be when the parents are always raising voices at each other! Angry, Grumpy and Grunchy! Although different people have different expectations on their child(ren) and different ways of nurturing, we must admit that life as parents is not an easy journey - it is routine, stressful and requires sacrifices.

I'm still learning how to be a fitting parent. I hope I could be a competent one (at least to my Baby)! :)
