Before
becoming a parent I was not so social. General chit chat with someone didn’t
really interest me. But well things change after one becomes a parent. The
other parents become our friends and child related events namely play dates or
birthday parties become our idea of socialisation. No I am not excited; I am
just about recovering from this shock. You can’t beat them join them.
Looking at the
brighter side, I get a lot of insight into human relations, expectation from
child/spouse etc. from these interactions. I learn most of my parenting lessons
or shocks from other parents. More shocks than lessons in fact. My ideas of
parenting don’t really fit the ‘norm’.
