Tell us at what age you became a mother, did you feel it was a responsibility for you?

I was 19 years old when I became a mother and I was very worried and confused that I didn't know what would happen next and how I would be able to fulfill this responsibility. I don't know whether I will be able to fulfill it or not, but it was very difficult for me and my husband.

I was alone and very scared and in this environment my mother gave me everything and took care of me. Then finally the final day came when my first daughter was born and as soon as I found out that I had a lovely daughter, I was very happy and forgot all my worries and held my daughter in my arms. Hope for happiness

What were your first experiences as a mother like? Give us details.

As a month earlier, the discussion was very special and interesting and memorable. I loved children from the very beginning and children are very cute to me. All the worries and all the things were forgotten. I didn't remember how much I was worried and what I was thinking about.

I was very happy to see my daughter and I shed tears of happiness. The first time I held my daughter in my arms, I felt a strange feeling of joy and love. I felt as if all the joys in the world came to me in one moment. And when my daughter drank milk, I had a different kind of feeling that it was not a physical relationship but a deep spiritual relationship.

I became very calm at that time. The journey of becoming a mother is a difficult journey with many complications and at this time, many times are difficult. Something has to be endured and if you have someone to take care of you during this critical time, this journey becomes much easier.

Did you have certain fears because of some myths regarding motherhood, which ones and why?

Yes, of course, when I was pregnant I was very worried because it was my first time and I had no idea what to do in this situation. At that time, my health was very bad and the baby was not growing. Due to which I faced many difficulties.

I would be very weak and at the same time I was afraid that when my baby was born it would not be healthy or something. Because of this, I was very worried and various thoughts kept bothering me. It is very well known in our society that when there is a lunar eclipse or a solar eclipse, it affects the health of the child. It can hurt.

I didn't know if it was true or a lie, but these things used to bother me. Whenever there was a lunar or solar eclipse, I was very worried and prayed that my child would not be affected.

How do you balance your time to dedicate some quality time to your children?

I am a housewife and I stay at home all day. I have two children, my elder daughter and my younger son. My daughter goes to school and my son is still young. He does not go to school. That's why I have time for my children.

It's not too difficult to pull off. We have made a routine that at night when their dad and I are free, we spend quality time with our kids, play with them, share things with them, teach them. become children with for some time and from that children learn a lot and share their things and whatever they have problems, they share with me very easily.

I have trained my children in such a way that whenever they need something they can feel free to ask me or share any idea they have with me. There is a small park near my house in which I take my two children in the afternoon and they have fun there. Also, on weekends we take our children outside to the big park and have a picnic there.

This makes the kids very happy and they always say momma when we go to the park what time the park will be and they are very excited about going to the park and taking the swings.

How many children do you have? Tell us about them and what you admire about your children?

I have two children, an elder daughter whose name is Ayat Fatima and a younger son whose name is Hassan Mahdi and the interesting thing is that both were born on the same date of July 26.

The daughter is five years old and the son is three years old. As I mentioned above, my daughter is going to school and she is also studying at senior level and my son is still not going to school because he has many problems due to which he is not going to school yet.

My daughter is very sensitive and caring, she feels and cares for us all, she notices little things and then discusses them with me. And my daughter is very fond of dolls in toys. She has bought many dolls and has me sew their clothes and wear them.

My daughter also loves birds and small animals. And she says get me a baby deer 🦌. While my younger son is very mischievous and always busy with mischief, when he sleeps, it is as if no one is home. There is complete silence.

When my little son was born, there were many complications with him, seeing that everyone was worried, so I was also very worried and scared and many people said very bad things.

My son has a congenital problem. He also has problems with his teeth and lips. So the doctor has told that surgery is the last solution. One surgery has been done which has healed the lips and the rest of the nose and gum surgery will be done later.

Also, there is a hole in the back side of brain bone which is growing inwards. Which is dangerous for the child, so timely treatment is very important. As a mother I am trying to save my child's life.

My son loves anything with tires whether it is a car, bus or a truck or anything. He is very fond of cars. He goes to the door of the run and keeps on giving until he is out of sight.

What do you enjoy most about being a mother? Dedicate a few words to your mother?

Most of all, I love that whenever we get angry with the kids or scold them, after a while they come back and say in a very innocent way, Mama, I'm sorry, I won't do it again, please. There is a sense of belonging.

Children do things or things that touch your heart and your love for them increases immensely and when you see children sleeping, you feel more loved. They don't do anything, sometimes they play together and sometimes they start fights, but they keep the house bright all day long.

Whenever we go out and buy something for our children, my daughter immediately says, "Mamma, Papa." You should take it for yourself, shouldn't you, and force gives us things and I enjoy it very much.

My mother is a hero to me. I have never seen a kind and caring person like him. My mother has seen very bad situations and has always been patient and she has always taught me that my daughter should always be patient no matter what happens.

My mother is a very patient woman and she always advised me to be patient and even today I benefited a lot from her words. And Alhamdulillah, because of their training, I am able to take good care of my son with patience. May Allah keep my mother's shadow always on my head. In the last, I would invite my friends @sualeha, @rashid001 and @saharsharif for this contest.

Thank you

Best Regards
