Howmuchever u try somethings never go the way you want them to in life! Parenting is one of them. You work so hard to give a good, comfortable living for them but in the process loosing out on precious time (their wonderful, growing up years) :-( the future looks very bleek for a mother especially. You try so hard to make them good humanbeings. But your efforts just goes down a huge black hole. You try disciplining them and the father and the grandparents pull the kids the other way and in turn you become a devil. I had read an article in a magazine, no a poem a long time ago in school when I truly did not appreciate the sacrifices that my mum had made to bring me up. Only after I had my little girl do I truly recognize what mountains she has scaled...she must have really bled when i would do exactly the opposite of what she had asked me to. I realize now how she would have felt when I went ahead and defied her.... My mum is the greatest in this world there is none to stand up to her image. I guess my daughter also will understand this some day for I am hurting right now... I dont know if i should seek an expert's opinion on how to bring my kid up. But I am holding on tight to the dream that one fine day she will finally recognize me for what i really am... HER MOM!!
Hey! Hold on there! Things will definitely improve. Didnt we hate our mothers when we were disciplined?
ReplyDeleteI know how much I have hurt her because I knew I had the support of granparents. But today I realise how many values she has instilled in me. So dont loose heart!
There's still teenage to come!!!
