Picking strewn toys, calming my screaming toddler, feeding a 20 month and simultaneously fixing puzzles with a three year old might not exactly sound like "luxury" on the first instance but let me explain. Not having to worry about keeping my job or worrying about a promotion or my next raise and just being able to be a full time mommy is certainly a luxury in today's times. When I was growing it was uncommon to have working moms. But for todays kids its a luxury for them and the mom to stay at home!
I am very lucky that my plans of life have actually work. I had always imagined myself to be one to be a full time mom once I had my kids planned out. I am lucky my husband thought on the same lines. I am lucky we could afford to stick to the decision. I am lucky I did not change my mind!
As a child, my happiest moment of the day would be to head home from school to be welcomed by my ever fragrant , ever smiling , ever cuddly mother with her warm hug. It is priceless for me to be able to drop and pick my daughter from school hearing all she has to say about the spilt paint, the applause for her enactment, the mischief that she and her friends got into . I feel like a miracle healer when my kisses work wonders on my 20 month old's bruises, or like Picasso when my 3 year old applauds the pictures that I paint for her, like Sanjeev Kapoor when my daughter shrieks in excitement seeing my okra dish. I feel like a million dollar mom!
I cringe when i realize how fast my babies are growing up. I am just so glad i can actually watch every minute they grow and be an integral part of this early, precious episode of their lives that has no re-runs!
Its certainly a luxury in today's day and age.
