 a mother's love
I have a daughter that will be 18 in Oct, she gradutates in the spring, she is a straight a student and I am very proud of her. She however can be the most irresponsible of my 4 children ages 16, 14, 12 are her siblings ages. she has always been bad about calling if running late or calling just to let me know she has gotten somewhere safely, I know she thinks I am invading her privacy but she is my daughter whom I love and worry about her safety, I hope one day she understands that I am not always nit picking(although I somtimes do lol)
I know one day when she decides to have children she will understand how fierce and protective a mothers love can be, as well as the gentle side of a moms love that holds us when we are sick and comforts our fears. Had to share this,
blessings

Re: a mother's love
Up until the point where she forgot where I worked (blame it on the alzheimers), my mom used to call my office and make sure I got to work okay - and I only lived 4 miles from work. I was in my 40s when she stopped doing that! But I totally understand where that behavior was coming from - love of her "child". This is how I feel about my son as well.
Thanks for sharing, Ladifaire

Re: a mother's love
I tell my children constantly that I bitch because I care. When chrissy went to her first boy /girl party about a week or so back and I kept going over the rules to be sure she knew. Until she grabbed my hand and said "Mommy, I know, no being in a room alone with one or more boys...always have a friend with me no funny stuff...you dont have to worry" then she grinned and said "unless you want to ....mommones " and rolled her eyes and kissed me.
The thing with sam really brought home to them how much I DO love them and worry...for days untiul we knew it wasnt going to court i would just grab him as i walked by and hug him. he kept apologizing for disappointing me....and I told him he didnt disappoint me...I was hurting because his bad decision hurt him. I told him over in over....group home, homeschool, whatever it took I would be right there with him.
I am thankfull i have such great kids....so far when i bitch and they roll their eyes all i have to say is "look I love you...." and they finish with "and the thought of us getting hurt scares you to death"
I like being a mom lol
thank you for sharing this sherry

Re: a mother's love
Being a mom is certainly the most difficult job in the world, when my kids were small yes it was still scary and difficult but as they grow older I worry about the world they have to come to live in and how will they do? will I always be there to help them? how do I know when to let the baby birds fly? will they soar or will they go splat, it is a confusing time for me with my oldest at adulthoods door and my second oldest an arms length behind her. I think I will need a valium drip!!! then I can feel like this little guy lol

Re: a mother's love
Much like babies learning to walk,they'll fall down sometimes.Only when they're grown,all you can do is stand by,let them know you love them enough to let them make thier mistakes,and watch them try again.Sooner or later,they'll take off running.
