5 reasons why I love being a mom!

I love being a mom. Sure it can be stressful and tiresome, but it’s definitely the most rewarding job I’ve ever had.

I was thinking earlier, what are some pros of being a mom? Sure there’s a hundred reasons why being a parent is awesome, but here is just my general, top five reasons why being a parent is awesome!

1. You always have a person to hang out with.

Sometimes I like to go out for dinner and don’t have anyone to go with me. My daughter will ALWAYS want to go. I know that I’ll never be alone because she’s here. I like knowing that I always have a friend in my daughter. (I know she’s only five, but I plan to keep our bond like this forever :) )

2. My daughter always knows what to say to cheer me up.

I could be having the worst day ever, and she will look at me and sayyou are so beautiful mom out of nowhere. Kids can be so encouraging. If I’m sad my daughter will give me extra kisses and hugs.

3. I love seeing the accomplishments that my daughter makes.

She just turned five, and is now able to do so much. Just last night she was reading words out of our nighttime book. Nothing makes a parent prouder that seeing their kid reach a milestone (reading). It’s one of my favorite things about being a parent- seeing her succeed makes me feel like I’ve succeeded.

4. It’s awesome knowing that there is a little child that I am responsible for.

She will grow up with the disciplines I’ve helped to instill in her. What I teach her now she will carry for the rest of her life. I only pray that she will be the best person possible when she’s an adult.

5. Another pro to being a parent is that our kids teach us so much.

They teach us how to be patient and forgiving. They show us how adults can still play and have fun. They show us that there’s still good and innocence in this world. Kids teach us about life.

Being a parent can be extremely challenging, and is definitely tiring at times. It definitely can feel like this picture below at times.

My daughter has taught me so many things though- it’s definitely worth it!
