I’m not a parent-yet. The ‘yet’ symbolises my thought process that someday- I’d like to be…a parent. And this time that I have now, is the build up to THAT day.
I don’t think most of us actively think about parenting. At least I didn’t. Not up until its staring me right in the face. Like someone who has made eye-contact with you from across the floor and there is a glass wall with a “PUSH” (not pull!) door separating you.
That “PUSH-PUSH-PUSH”- every English childbirth movie scene’s penchant dialogue. And *Parenting* is waiting across that glass door, having locked eyes with you, ready to start with a ‘push’.
