Today after giving Emmett a bath I cried in front of my mom. Big mistake. She yelled at me, actually yelled at me for crying. She accused me of trying to make her feel guilty. Then she made me feel worse talking about how she's cried over me leaving and she was starting to guilt trip me about moving.
Emmett is MINE after all, I can cry if I want to. I guess no one around me really understands how I feel. Emmett is my BABY, and even if I get to have hime some weekends it just won't be the same.  Now I'm crying again.
Sorry for being a downer guys. |
She might be yelling to keep from crying. Sometimes moms do things that make us feel better at the time, at the expense of our kids feelings. Doesn't make it right, but it is an explanation. She is feeling a lot of different things about you going to college. HER baby is growing up and leaving. It isn't so much you putting her on a guilt trip as she just doesn't know what to do with all the emotions she has about all the changes she's going through, anymore than you do. Have pity on her. You're both going to be soaking your pillows.
Kinda like when our kids miss the bus home and for a few panicked moments we don't know where they are and when we find them we shake and yell at them "Don't ever do that again", then cry and hug them, then yell again.... we yell because we're angry because we were scared to death. Our emotions get all mixed up, but doesn't stop us from scaring the crap out of and yelling at the kids. Don't care what the kids think or feel, we do what we do to make ourselves feel better at the moment. So, take that into account and let it go...... moms aren't perfect... it will be okay....eventually...LOL
