Oh I just had the best mother's day morning,thanks to my kids.Love them both sooooo much.Hmmm..I have always thought of myself as the crappiest mother in the whole world.If I just had a penny for each time I felt like a terrible mother..I dont know..
When I see that mom at my kids pre-school who proudly announces that her kid writes all the alphabets when she was just three,I look at my younger one, who looks confused seeing his own name.Does he have to?I mean he is just three,right?Is he going to graduate out of high school at 10? Or am I a crappy mom?
Then I meet some moms who just go on and on about how their kids who so perfectly sits on the table and eat all vegetables without any hesitation.I look at my boys who would literally run away from the kitchen when he sees veggies on his plate.Does he have to?I mean he is just six,right?Should he be counting his calorie intake and vitamins and minerals intake already?Or am I a crappy mom?
Sometime,there are those moms who gives you the look..walking past you,with their perfectly well behaved kids, with an arched eyebrow..looking at you and your whining and crying kids...my six year who is not ready to share his favorite toy with his brother..crying 3 year old on one side,cursing out his brother..whining older one trying to explain his part of the story...as helpless as you are already, that look makes it worse..Oh..I can feel her thinking..'She is a crappy mother'.
I give up..you know, what I am a crappy mother..I dont care..yes..I let them watch tv and take a nap on tired afternoons...I let them both fight till I finish watching the latest episode of Top Chef...I just love the days when they dont have homeworks...For all I know,I can never be a perfectly good mother,but I can always love my kids with all my heart..100%..
I remember going to bed last night..yelling screaming..'would you guys just leave me alone for sometime'...and I vowed to sleep for more time,the next morning..
6.45 a.m.
'Its morning..Its morning..mommy.. mommy wake up! wake up!..its mothers day..wake up wake up..'
'Its mowming..Its mowming..mommy..mommy wake up!..Its modders dway..wake up'
Okay, here we go..
'Time to open your presents'
'Wime to open your pwesens'
'Thank you boysss!'..of course I acted surprised..There was a brown bag with my six year old name on it.Inside was a chocolate bar and a bag of tea(breakfast in a bag) and a letter.He had written the letter by himself with his teachers help..my little one had done a project with his teachers help.
'Do you like it mommy'
Do you wike it mommy'
Then my older one sang a little song he had practiced and the younger one followed along..Oh I was in tears already..
'I love you mommy'
'I wowe u mommy'
Maybe, I am a perfectly good mother.For my kids who make me feel that way..'LOTS OF HUGS & KISSES'..
