Parenting

This is a very random topic...totally unrelated to my usual typical med student's life entry...

I think parenting is the hardest thing in the world...it's not something that can be taught at uni n u can't earn a degree in parenting..it's even harder than learning to become a neurosurgeon..where u can refer to books, journals and u will be trained by different consultants before u become one...there's no book that can teach U how to become a parent...I wonder why people even bother buying parenting books or write one in the first place...
hmm..on second thought, maybe because it's too difficult that people thought some tips might help..

From my observation throughout my 23++ years of life, I shall say there's no correct way to become a parent...U might be too strict, and ur children hate U or did something bad n it reflects on U not being a good parent..U might be too lenient and the same thing could happen...U can't trust them yet U can't doubt them...even when U think U hv a good relationship with ur children, things can still go wrong...even when U treat all your children the same way, they won't grow up with the same character or values...

I want to become a mother in the future, I'm thinking maybe in 5years' time, but seeing how challenging it is, scares me a little..nurturing babies might not be as hard (maybe it's more difficult logistic wise)...but it certainly gonna be a greater challenge as they grow older..
