With Mothers Day just around the corner I have been thinking about being a mother and how much I love my little babies ....
Fast forward 20 years....
What will they resent about me? Everything? Will I be the type of parent that they want to grow up and be? Or will I constantly hear from them " Mom you never....." I know that as an adult and mother, I wonder how and why my mom made certain choices. I am a bar code product of divorce.
I hope my " Mom you never" list reads like this....
- " Mom, you never put anything before my needs"
- " Mom, you never failed to show me a solid faith example"
- "Mom, you never forgot to tell me you love me "
- "Mom, you never embarrassed me, you are someone I want to be like"
-"Mom, you never bailed me out of jail for underage drinking ( heck no I wont, sit and learn)
-" Mom, you never let me down, I could ALWAYS count on you"
- " Mom, you never judged me, you always let me make my life my own"
-" Mom, you never forgot to make what is important to me important to you"
- "Mom, you never showed me those pictures when YOU were in college( um....no comment)
- "Mom, you never forgot to smile each time I walked into the room"
- " Mom, you never let your disappointments, bleed in to my life"
- "Mom, you never got too fat :)"
I think about Kate Gosslin and her kid's 20 years from now. They will have Ca- RAY- Z challenges.I am sure they will have a celebrity rehab for that whole family by then. But at least they will still get a paycheck! Kate does get a bad wrap. Face value, single mom, 8 kids. A girl has to eat. I don't diss her method. But, I think her journey could have been a heck of alot easier if she had faith in the G-O-D. You would think that after all of her shows, one would have them going to church. I pray for those kids.
I cant imagine why some mothers can't be mothers. Why they have to be so selfish? SELFISH. That's judgey mc'judgerson talking but... really. Poor babies. For those of you who feel that your Moms is less than stellar. Give a shout out to the ultimate of all moms.... Our Blessed Mother, Mary. I have peace knowing that she had the same(kind of) challenges that I have everyday as a mother. I feel that I can go to her for anything. So, if your own mom is lacking.....hit up Mother Mary. You wont be let down. She is the only perfect mom out there. So give yo momma some cred.....even if she isn't perfection. Word.
