To Capt Noone,
I am so sorry if you and your mother dont get along,I so understand. I simply decided that I would be a different kind of mom. What I wrote may sound harsh,but because the rules in our house are very few and very simple and there is so much love that is poured out beyond that. I have a great relationship with each of my 6 children. My 26yr old son still comes to his parents for advice,my 25yr old daughter and I went through some tuff stuff when she was 21,but we are the very best of friends. She will even tell you that she made some bad choises,but that her parents were constant and loving. Even my younger brother that I partially raised calls and talks to me about things that he doesnt tell anyone else. All of this is because I chose to be a different kind of mother.
So dont discount motherhood,there are more rewards to this profession than you can get anywhere else. I help to care for the woman that I called mother, she is not like alot of moms out there,so many life issues of her own. |
