"Parenting is one of the greatest assignments God has entrusted into our hands. It is a journey filled with laughter, sacrifices, sleepless nights, and unending prayers. Yet, for many parents, this sacred duty has become a burden that brings more pain than joy. Some are overwhelmed by constant shouting, endless frustrations, and the fear of "Am I getting it wrong?""
"Parenting was never designed to be a one-man job. When one parent carries all the weight while the other stands aloof, tears are inevitable. Children thrive when they see unity between father and mother. Think of it like carrying a heavy piece of furniture: if both parents lift it together, the load becomes lighter, and neither gets injured. But when only one person attempts it, exhaustion and frustration follow."
"Many parents assume they are doing well because they provide food, clothes, and school fees. But children do not only need provision; they need presence. A father may sit in the living room with his phone while his children play around him, yet be completely absent from their world. A mother may be home all day but so consumed with chores that she never sits to hear her child's heart. Presence means eye contact, listening ears, and intentional time."
Parenting is presented as a sacred assignment that can turn burdensome when met with shouting, frustration, and doubt. Joyful, fulfilling parenting is achievable through wisdom and intentionality. Shared parental responsibility eases physical and emotional loads and models teamwork for children. Fathers and mothers should jointly handle routines, discipline, school runs, and laughter to create a balanced home. Material provision alone is insufficient; children require genuine presence marked by eye contact, listening, and intentional time. Physical availability without engagement leaves children emotionally neglected and increases parental exhaustion.
