Parenthood
Signs that you are a new parent
- Dark circles around your eyes
- The constant worry that nags at you when your kid is not feeling well
- You end up loosing your favorite computer game because you were paying more attention to her turning over successfully
- The lack of privacy … sigh!!
- You have more energy at the end of the day
- Baby-talk comes naturally to you
- Somehow you notice other kids, and the peer pressure just gets to you
- me-time reduces to 10% of the original planned schedule
The pram
Parenthood brings in its own slew of experiences, I won’t talk about the often cited ones like holding your child in your arms and the realization experiences 
. My mama (the marathi kind), gave us a pram for Anasuya. Everyone was excited … the baby was bringing her own entourage.
Today, we sat for assembling the infernal thing. With a single pager for a manual, and two guys (that’s my father and I) … it was obvious that we had no need for instructions! So came the exercise of figuring out what goes where … in that process of figuring things out, we made discoveries … the oohs! and the a-has!! were multifold. As with almost all D-I-Y assemblies, we finished it and still had some parts to spare (wonder where they go!!?!).
I wonder if they purposely make it confounding, so that the parents get realizations in the process of assembling it?
