What kind of friend can make you a better person? There are many ways of growing, but growing as a parent can only be realized with a child. Children make your life more complicated and make your life goal simpler. You learn to patiently answer every question they ask. You learn to be brave and strong so that you can protect them. You are willing to pick up the language, history, math, science subjects you forgot years ago, just to keep up with your children’s learning progress. You start to pay attention to parenting, gender equality, environmental sustainability and war, just to hope your child can grow up safely and carelessly into a beautiful person.
