Nobody is born learned from nothing and it is life that teaches us what to do and how to get things to improve little by little. When you are young you do not think about how you can be a father or mother, we have the parents who gave us life and always took care of us as an example, we know that they love us unconditionally, but perhaps you have never stopped to think that really Being a father or mother requires mastery of an art.
If you are currently a parent and do not know if you are really being a good parent, you may need to find out if you really master the art of parenting and parenting. Many fathers and many mothers are great fathers and great mothers and they don't even realize it. You have to appreciate the great effort and the great value that you have to have to be a good father or a good mother. For all these reasons, do not miss some signs that can help you know if you master this art (surely you do).
Signs that tell you that you have mastered the art of parenting or motherhood
- You are able to eat with one hand while holding your baby on your hip with the other arm and you are able to calm their crying.
- When you go out to buy you do it at such a fast speed that you do not know when you get home if you have bought all or only half of the things.
- You feel great satisfaction when your child finally becomes a womb after several days constipated. You never imagined that you could feel so much joy seeing the waste of another human. But yes, it is so.
- You rejoice almost like you've won the lottery when your child learns to blow his nose. Finally, you no longer have to use the horrible snot remover. Now listening to your child blow his snot is almost like a heavenly song.
- You have developed X-ray vision and are able to tell whether or not your child has a fever just by looking at him for a few seconds. In addition, thanks to these X-rays you are able to perfectly administer medications in the twilight of the night. You can also find fallen pacifiers, sleeping blankets, etc. in the dark.
- You put on clothes from last winter and you realize that they are badly washed and you discover dry snot or breast milk in the fabric ... at that very moment and before changing into another clean garment, you smile nostalgically and realize how quickly it happens one year.
- You're always late for places. You don't do it on purpose, but if it's in the morning… sleeping 5 more minutes is necessary after a bad night. But it is also that you must realize if you have everything you need to be able to go out with your children. Any setback or forgetfulness could be a catastrophe outside the home: tissues, wet wipes, diapers, snacks, water ... everything is of vital importance.
- Your home library now has more children's books than adult books. Your home has more toys and children's things than you can name, also in the decoration of any room.

- You have discovered that nothing disgusts you anymore. It does not matter if there is vomit or mucus on the bed or on the floor ... You remove it, clean it and all this without blinking. Most likely, while you are doing it, you will calm and reassure your baby or your partner.
- Before you were a father or mother, you thought that putting washing machines every day was a waste of money and energy. Now you know that it is necessary, if not every day, at least every other day. It is necessary, and you know it is non-negotiable.
- The doodles of your children and later their drawings, are the most important works of art that can be in your entire home. Maybe some you keep in albums, but others you may have framed and proudly display in your living room. Children grow up, and they do it very fast ...

- You are able to do different things with your hands as long as it means having your baby or your children well cared for at all times.
- In your underwear drawer there is a small box with your children's teeth - which, of course, the Tooth Fairy left you there.
