“Giving without expecting in return”
While riding the bus, a mother besides me talking her daughter on a phone. She said, “I have given everything you need, but you did not even see its worth” sobbing for sorrow. “Now, you are pregnant! How would I pay all the debts that you have wasted?”
In a spontaneous situation that I have heard, those words coming from a mom nicks the heart of a problematic daughter!
I am not saying that the daughter should be pity of. Indeed, Mom’s sacrifice is truly appreciated. However, if a mom needs to provide all the things that her child wanted to have, then this is the time a child needed a mom the most!
Unnoticeably, I am now typing my thoughts on my BB screen. Why do we need to regret on something that we had already given? In times of trouble, we easily say hurtful words.
Somebody out there will say “You are not in a Mom’s situation, so it is easy for you to say so”. Yes, I am not but I am in the daughter’s situation sixteen years ago. Furthermore, I am now a MOM so I can definitely relate to this situation. Well for me, your response in a spontaneous situation will define your inner disposition.
As the case maybe, spare time for your child to see your worth. Never tell the things that you have done or the things that you have given. Why? Because a child did not require you to do what you have to do. So, all the things done should be heartily given. Actually it is an OBLIGATION, so never expect anything in return.
Giving your child a good education is not an investment, it is somehow a road map for her success. So when we become a mom, we should stay foot to explain everything to our children. Teach them what is right and wrong, Why they need to finish their studies, the consequences of early marriage and so forth and so on… but if a child stumble and fall, be there to keep them strong. All ages are entitled to commit mistakes. Sometimes a child gets wrong to recognize what is right.
They will learn to face the consequences of their actions and they will find ways to correct their mistakes.
Needless to say, a Mother is the toughest role in life. If I may ask, why does a mom need to take her life at risk in giving birth?
Because out of this world, a MOM is the most accountable to her child’s life! That is why the mother gets hurt the most when his son or daughter need to take college away from home, when they get married. Ultimately, when they are about to leave permanently.
A MOM was born to be indulgent to her kids by all means!
That is how a mom should be remembered! BE THE ONE…
