MY LIFELINES

We fight, we crib yet we love each other.

My equation with my kids is simply hidden in these words.  I was fortunate that I was one of the lucky ones to be blessed with twin kids.  Obviously, initial few years were just a mayhem and drain out; both physically as well as mentally. I had my own days of nervous breakdown, nonstop crying but if I look back now, every moment was worth it.

No doubt at times I was harsh on my little kids which I regret till now (I know they hate me for that) yet they know that how much I love them. We play, dance, fight but at the end of day we kiss and make up. Now, as they are about to enter their teens, I am facing other challenges that take a toll on my nerves and I feel like giving up. Many times, I have tried to threaten them that, ‘look, don’t trouble me or else I will leave you’ but that doesn’t affect them as they know it’s all fake!

The joy of motherhood is something I will never trade for any other gains. They may not offer me a glass of water, they may not ask me about my well being but the bottom line is that we share a bond of love and affection.

Every time I look at them playing together, I just thank the Almighty as I couldn’t have asked for better!
