Man of Steel - Are we the Super parents we think we are?

The Man of Steel  moved "mountains" onscreen and it had also evoked emotions from me, during the scene whereby the parents had to send "Superman" to earth to protect him.

Before I became a parent, I read stories of how parents protect their kids. I wondered where they got their courage from. I wondered if I will have the same courage that they had, if it happens on me.

It was also one of the reasons why I didn't want to have kid. I was afraid I will turn away in the face of danger.

However, that scene from the "Man of Steel" movie had led me to a conclusion. We are Super Parents.
It is a paternal instinct where one way our emotions help us decide is by creating a physical response to information we don't even realize we've noticed. When we slam on the brakes at the sight of an unexpected car, for example, it's because our subconscious mind has recognized danger and translated it into a flash of fear; we decide to act without any conscious thought.

And we are Super Parents, we changed diapers for our kids. We teach them the way we think are right. We will make sure our kids are looked after first before we look after ourselves. So I will never think myself and my husband as the worst parents again.

Royce changed our lives completely. And it made us love and cherise our parents even more.

So kudos to parents and parents to be , you are Super Parents !
