I often think it’s so odd that some women take to Motherhood so easily while others like myself struggle daily with “how to BE a Mom”. Take my sisters-in-law for example, both of them are young mothers with babies a few months old and yet it amazes me how they have taken to Motherhood like a duck to water! I feel like I struggle everyday with my 3 (almost 4) children in doing the simplist of routines etc. I always thought that being a Mom would be easy, all you really have to do is Love your kids – WRONG!! I’m learning that you need to do research, reading, study and ask tons and tons of questions. Not only that but be open to suggestions that others make when they see you struggling – I get lots of advice! LOL! Not that I don’t apprieciate it, because I truly do. I just think I need one big manual for motherhood designed specifically for the raising of my individual children and then I need the time to read it! :0)
Anyway, to all those Mom’s out there that I admire and look up to – I salute you in the most difficult profession on the planet. Thanks for your examples that push me to be a better mom to my kids.
Well you are a great Mom and Daria you have 3.5 CHILDREN!! That’s a big deal! Anyhting is easy to handle in ones! But thankyou for your vote of confidence in my ability to be a Mom to one! If I get a big enough head maybe I will think that I can do it with more then one! But for now since you don’t have time to read those magical book that tell you the secrets of motherhood, I could read one or two and pass theinfo on verbally it’ll be like a “book friend” instead of a ” book tape”. I love you your amazing!
Like a duck to water eh…. well unless your refering to the ugly duckling or the almost drowning duckling or the scared out of there mind duckling or the alergic to water duckling then you got it all wrong. I struggle all the time…just ask me
I thought the motivation to do mother things would be stronger… turns out you have to muster it up yourself or pray for help… who knew. At the end of the day I think we could all say that our kids are great and that makes us great too.. i figure.
Dee your one of the best moms I know…besides was it not your
dream to be a mom!!!…I love you just the way you are
I hope you read this.
