Quote by Marcelene Cox

Parents are often so busy with the physical rearing of children that they miss the glory of parenthood, just as the grandeur of the trees is lost when raking leaves.

Parents are often so busy with the physical rearing of child

Summary

This quote highlights how parents can sometimes become so overwhelmed with the day-to-day responsibilities and tasks involved in raising children that they fail to fully appreciate the joys and wonders of being a parent. It draws a parallel between the act of raking leaves, which focuses solely on clearing away the debris on the surface, and the experience of parenting, where the profound beauty and significance of raising a child can be easily overlooked amidst the daily routines and demands. The quote serves as a reminder for parents to pause, reflect, and embrace the awe-inspiring aspects of parenthood that might be easily missed in the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
