Parenting is the Real Investment

It was their “My Country of Adoption” day in school and my son represented the Egyptian.

We researched and practiced together and we were both on top of the script.

Event time was communicated and atlas, I  had fixed an appointment for that same time.

I was a bit confused,
My ‘scale of preference was tested’,
If I don’t go for my appointment, my brand will be affected
I thought I could quickly juggle the two
Then I remembered the ‘Maruwa and Okada’ ban in my state.

I was angry and angry…
Nevertheless, a choice is needed to resolve the situation
I communicate to both parties
Just to have reschedule my priority lists

You know sometimes we know what is right, but then we seek for supporting parties to justify our wrong choices.

Finally, I made my decision.
As I stepped in, I heard that tiny voice screaming ‘Is my mum here?’
He was just changed into his costume and he noticed other parents.

Gbam! I was right on time.
My heart melted as I replied with a welcoming smiled and warm hug and you and I am sure you know how the presentation ended.

From this simple experience, I learnt that raising children is an expensive undertaking. It not only has financial costs, but it requires time, energy, and emotional resources
