She said; Hmm. So I saw this quote online, let me start from there. The quote said “Overprotective moms are like girls who grew up without being protected” and that meant something.
So one of my biggest fears would be my kids going through what I went through. That emptiness and that no sense of direction.
So like I always say, my life is like a scale of preference and they come first before every other thing cause as a child, I suffered so much and I remember crying with nobody to clean my eyes. I can define hunger because I know it.
I can define abuse so it is a feeling I don’t want any child, not the one that came from me, to go through. So they always say “oh Mercy you’re so awesome awesome awesome”, my past is the reason why I am very protective of my kids basically.”
No one wants their child(ren) to go through pains or sufferings but the truth is that, there will always be a time we won't be there for the ones we love and care for.
ReplyDeleteCan I tell you the greatest test of parenting? Well let me not say before I'm been reminded that I'm not yet married.
Teejay, some parents especially mothers subject their children to suffering, i have seen children (that are supposed to be in school) hawking, while the mother is at home sleeping.
DeleteThis is the fear of every good mother, not wanting your child go through the negative things you went through while growing up.
ReplyDeleteI'm so protective of my kids enh, I wish I can protect them from every type of pain but the truth is that I can't 🤷
ReplyDeleteI pray hard for them
ReplyDeleteEvery mother have that fear. But we can't be there for them always. One day they will leave us to face life on their own. We just need to be praying for them.
ReplyDeleteWell said
DeletePpl go through any lesson they need to go through to become better. Always pray for the spirit of right choices to follow your children. Above all things that will determine the outcome of one's life it will be the choices they make. We all need to pray for discernment and right choices.
