Hi everyone,
Yesterday, my colleague (who is a father of a good-looking 8-month old baby) looked extremely happy when he told me that his baby started crawling around the house. And this made me wonder, what is the thing that makes you happy or fulfilled as a parent ?
Definitely my colleague will get other opportunities to feel this joy of his baby reaching the milestones, but I was wondering whether there was something else that could generate a similar feeling or even a stronger feeling!
Have a good day,
hugomart
hi,
yes it is a very special time, when a couple have their first child. There are happy milestones such as when child starts to walk on their own etc. And when their older, teaching them to ride a bike for example.
@bill337 Thanks for the reply!
I was actually wondering what other things could make you happy with respect to your baby/kid.
I am pretty sure I can convert that to happiness targets for me!
When they hug me and tell me they love me, without being prompted or me doing something for them.
