Raising a kid as a physically challenged mom

It is not easy for a physically challenged mom. I had a late marriage and a late pregnancy, there were many days when I used fall down and hospitalized so that the doctors can observe me and the baby. The due date came at last and I had a c-section and had the baby come out. After a long struggle to get a baby, I had to figure out how to take care of the baby my husband is gem of a man he was there every time when I need to change diaper or bath her. With my husband's, parents, sisters and my friend's parents help I was able to raise my daughter for eleven years.

My husband and I are from India, so I wanted to keep up our culture and tradition so, I joined her to Indian classical dance and Hindustani violin class. My daughter is a good dancer she has performed in many shows for which I am very proud of her. My daughter is good at school also. I some time feel that I am not able to help her like other moms do to their kids, my daughter does not ask or compare me with other moms, but I fell like that. I cook food that she likes to eat, I take her out where she would want to go play. Raising a kid and disciplining them is not a easy job. There were days when my daughter asked me that she in trouble in class because of another child and teacher punished my daughter and I had to get involved and complain this to the principal. I tell my daughter if the situation is not serious then ignore the person. To conclude I would say raising a kid is not a easy job.
