BEING A MOTHER..............................
|
BEING A MOTHER.............................. It has to be the toughest, yet most rewarding job there is. Demonstrate to your what love looks like so they have a model for loving others. Create traditions. In times of great change, these are the things that can count on. Be prepared to grow up yourself. Give your reasons to do well. Physical punishment is not a good reason. Logical explanation helps them make good decisions when you are not there for them to hear. Find a way to give clear guidlines for what is ecpected of them. Help your discover what is special about them. In no time at all your will be grown. Make time for them now. Listen to your before you jump to conclusions. They may be right. Making your adult choose between you and their spouses will never make you happy. Once you are a mother, always be a mother first. Quietly and gently guide. Lead by example.Put happy notes into their lunch boxes. Notice good behavior and reward it. Give bad behavior a quick reprimand, but do not dwell on it. All they want is attention---give it to them for the right reasons. The greatest gifts you can give a are guidelines for behavior and the ability to be independent. Never make any negative statements to or about your . Focus on what makes them happy and find a way to help them achieve it. Your cannot live the life you wish you had. They are here to live their own, so help them. Underline the necessity for them to assist anyone who is less fortunate. Value their desire to be independent. Setting them free is the only way to keep them. |

Bonnie: OMG this could be the very reason I have fallen for you as you personify all the qualities I grew up with in my mom. LOL as I have told you on the phone. My mom was my Dad's anchor to reality as he was always on stage so to speak he was the story teller the class clown the one who entertained everybody who came to visit. My mom God love her she would just laugh and say ohhhh George... She was a woman of barefoot elegance, a gracious unassuming woman. Being 1/2 Bohemian she could be stubborn at times but you always knew she had your best interest at heart... She never imposed her will on anyone she always allowed us to make our own decisions or mistakes... She was a woman who you hated to ever see dissappointed in you so when we as kids had a decision to make we often did so with the thoughts of what would mom do or how will my decision affect her views of me... We knew what erver our choices were right or wrong she would always be there for us and always love us unconditionally.. I'm guessing you Bonnie are also just such a woman and that you personify all the same qualities that both my mother and your mother probably have shared... I look forward to talking to you again so please sweet woman call me again real soon... Love ya Kiddo.... Tim

Bonnie,This one hits home.my mom always gave us the direction but also the ability to make our own decisions in life and to stand by them.As a single dad I have to be the mother with with my children,as well as the father.Its is very hard sometimes.but the lessens that were given to me from my mom are passed on to my two.but I know they need their own mother and that is the hard part,because my late wife would always be their for them,with the little notes always hugs in the morning,and a guiding hand.Their is nothing more important to a child than a mothers love.Always in my thoughts,and prays..Warm hugs Harley.
