I been total shock how much I like
being a mom. Some people thought certain ages of off spring
are just terrible. I joyed the terrible twos and unbearable teen
years.
When I was growing up I was far from a
girly girl. I didn't play with dolls much. I rather go outside an
rumble tumble with the neighbor hood boys.
One time a psychiatric told me when was
a teenager in mid seventy that I had desire to be a “male” See
even to this day there things I don't enjoy other female so called
aggravate me. Like shopping or playing nasty little female games of
cattiness.
But I had desire to raise a family.
Confession time..I prefer male company over female company.
Raising and being
part of Sawyer and Bart life. I wouldn't trade if for all the tea in
china. I was there mom not a friend. Murphy and I parent. Opinion
time...I don't think being your children friend and not parent does
them any good in long run.
I don't believe
being overly strict has any good result either.
Now both of the
boys flew the nest. My oldest one is married to lovely girl Betty. I
stay out of there life. Me getting involve in there life will only
cause conflict.
Sure I have a good
relationship with both of them. Actual someone told me they could see
me being close to my daughter in law.
Confession time...I get tired of
people asking me if I like my daughter in law.
Yes I like my daughter in law not because she married my son. Because
she a very lovely kind human being. That deserve common respect . I
haven't yet heard anyone asking Murphy if he likes his daughter in
law.
Bart
is now dating Diane and she went to school with Betty and graduate
out of high school with Betty in 2006.
I
feel the same about Diane as I do Betty she to is a very lovely kind
human being. That deserve common respect.
Being
a mom once your
children leaves home and is being a productive and responsible adult
of society is whole different ball game. Plus it a lot easier to be a
mom to grown
children.
M is
for “Mom”
Stop
by tomorrow to see what start with letter “N”

is on
My son is just about ready to leave home, too. Everyone has asked if I am all thrilled about that. Um, not really. I like him and enjoy having him around. Someday I hope to be a grandma. Being a mom was kind of hard for me and I hope that I have learned something along the way.
ReplyDeleteI grew up around boys and even raised boys. I try to be as girly as I can possibly be, but it doesn't often work out that way. I think it has something to do with my past life.

Parenting is different. I'm a stepmom...not something I ever thought I would be. No two days are the same. I'm not really a girly girl either, so it helps that we have a boy. Though sometimes I think he can cause just as much drama as my young nieces. :) Elle @ Erratic Project Junkie
