PARENTING; HOW DO WE DIVIDE OUR LOVE FOR OUR CHILDREN?

source
Some Days Ago, I  was at my aunts house,She just had her third Child...

i couldn't take pictures of our new born baby because my phone was faulty and that is the reason I haven't been active on Steemit this Past Days.....

The good news Is, She had a baby girl ☺ and my phone is functioning well now, You guys should expect more stories from @olajumoke.

 Enjoy,, 

It was already evening and we were about to have dinner when we heard a faint knock On the door... 

Jummy? Could you please check who's at the door?!my aunt said. 

I quickly left the plate I was washing and went straight to the living room to check who was knocking.... 

Yes, who's at the door? I asked.  

It's me Omotade, Lola's friend. She said'. 

Oh! aunty tade. I opened, please come in... 

What!!  you're having a second child? Hun! 

i was patted on the head and smiled, Jummy love, my baby boy(her first Child) is now 5, he's a big boy and he wants a baby sister too.  

She walked in gently to the kitchen where her best friend was, 

haha! Iya meta(mother of triplet) I wasn't expecting you. My aunt said",they exchanged the usual pleasantries before they got down to serious discussions ".

 I hope you haven't come to finish our food, my aunt said jokingly'. 

She laughed and walked away... I'm hungry, what have you prepared for dinner?she asked'. 

 I cooked rice, fried plantain, and made Fish sauce, her friend answered'.  

we  joined her in the dinning room to have dinner...

By the way, where's our new baby girl,she asked?"

My angel is sleeping upstairs, aunty Lola replied "

Aunty tade asked if Dolapo and Timmy(my aunts first son and Second daughter) had gone to grandmas house as usual.  

She answered yes, and that she needed to rest well and takecare of her third baby girl since her husband is not in the country to assist her. so she took them to granny's house..she said".

I was almost done with my food when aunty tade asked an amazing question that caught my attention. 

 She said...

 "I always wonder....when you have a second baby, after having only one child for the longest time, how would you divide your love for them? 

I needed to give my aunts friend my real wisdom and my thought about that when my aunt smiled, and truth this Is what she said "

No Love is divided with multiple children. You begin to allow more room and more love. It is not about loving each of them equally, it's about loving them uniquely.

Each One of them provides something different that another child doesn't. There's no divide love. It's like Jesus, how does he love everyone on this earth?. It's a unique love and special one for each. 

She Continued....

When We begin to open our eyes as parents,  we begin to see and make room to love our children Uniquely. Just like us being children of God, we are all unique and each relationship with God and our walk of faith is different, but uniquely ours with him.       Once you realize that, then having multiple children,  you love them so much more...

You See their beautiful characteristics of each child and you love them so much more uniquely. There is so much love to give in this world, that if we're Giving love to different things, we can find love for one another child, and that love for them Is one of the biggest blessing any parent can provide... 

I Asked my husband the same question without sharing my thoughts when we had our second child, and what was so amazing, he said the same exact thing. I ended up in little tears because the man I married is so wise and my love for him is Endless.  It's also understanding that your love with your spouse starts there.  Your children will recognize and see it. If you both are right, then you're creating a foundation For them to understand the real meaning of a parental Love...

Wow! She exclaimed,  and she was really happy and Satisfied With the response my aunt gave. 

There's really nothing like parental love truly.  I said to myself'. I was still waiting to hear another gist when she Shouted at me"will you get up and clear this table?! 

 I packed all the plates and rushed to the kitchen to get a towel to clean up the Dinning table....

THE END 

I Hope you guys learn something from this? I have learnt so much, part of it Is.. to get married soon lol just joking.
