If you think you knew what struggle looks like, wait till you need to make your kid take a bath. First comes the dilemma of making them get into the bath – they will fight tooth and nail to avoid dipping their teeny tiny toes into the water. Next comes the struggle of getting them out of the bath.

The problem behind this is that many kids don’t do well with transitions. They may not want to get into the water and once they do, they may not want to come out of the warm, soapy oasis – and we don’t blame them!

You can fix this problem by making bath time more of a fun activity than a dreaded compulsory chore. Once they are close to being done with their bath, keep a fuzzy towel ready to wrap them in before they hit the cool air.

  • Hit the gym

Believe us: Once you have kids, you will start loving and appreciating your mother more than you ever did. With your kids making your life just a ‘tad’ bit more difficult, you finally begin to understand how it must have been for your mother.

So, whenever you miss her or feel like you should have appreciated her a little more for everything she did and still does, ring her up and tell her how much you love her!

Of course holding your little munchkin in your arms is an absolutely beautiful feeling. But, truth be told, when the whining starts, nothing can be more painful. To add to it, some people just won’s stop gushing at you and your baby. All you can do is wish that they knew what you need to go through at times.

Unlike us adults, birthdays mean a lot to every kid – and who are we to blame them? We harnessed the same amount of enthusiasm when we were eagerly counting days for our birthdays. However, the little element of surprise chimes in when your kid comes with an updated birthday list.

What do you do then? Prepare for the worst and learn a lesson for next time: always include a backup plan for your kid’s birthday next year.

It is an unsaid pact between the parents and the kids. When the parent says ‘Maybe, we’ll see’, it automatically translates to ‘Yes’ for the kid. By now, you should know to either answer in a ‘yes’ or a ‘no’ because a ‘maybe’ is definitely a ‘yes’.

I don’t know many of you can relate to this, but I can certainly relate to the struggles a not-so-photogenic kid (because I was one, duh!).
