Being mother is not easy. Even if u're depressed, stressed, crying or struggling but being mother you cant let them see you down and at the same time not only admitting ur weakness as a parent but also asking their forgiveness is not easy. But u r mother n u have to.
#no intentions of exxaggerating or demeaning role of other parent, but many women bear so much just for their children
I think you are right on pratyaya. It is a full time responsibility, and it is NOT easy. I think that we can share some of our emotions with our children and express to them that we need breaks at times. My wife shoulders so much and tries to be patient all the time, it is simply impossible. We are all human, and if we are impatient it does not mean that we do not love our children.❤️☮️
Truer words were never spoken. My children are grown now, and I have a grandchild. I tell my sons, once a Mom always a Mom. I wish I had taken more time for self care when they were growing up. It is hard to free up time for yourself when you're a Mom, but it can make a big difference in your parenting.
This is all so true. It's the hardest job in the world and all mothers need support. I wish more people talked about how hard it is as when you're in it, it can feel like no one else gets it - I've been there.
I struggle with bipolar, ADHD, PTSD, borderline personality disorder and more and I have a 15 year old. Keeping things from him was not easy and once the depression bipolar kicked in, I was always in bed. As he got older I decided to try something that I'm sure most parents would condemn me for doing but I'll tell you in hopes that it helps you. I decided to not hide anything from him anymore. He comes from his father and me who we both have struggled with mental illness and addiction and so did all his grandparents on both sides. I wanted more than anything to break the cycle so he didnt have to suffer but it's in his genes. By me being honest he got to see first hand what drugs do to people and he now hates drugs and doesn't want to be bothered with therapy and medicine his whole life. He wants a good life so he knows drugs and alcohol will not give him a good life. I grew up already in and out of institutions and using drugs and alcohol at his age especially cus i watched my parents partying and i thought partying was cool. I showed my son just how uncool drugs and alcohol is. I'm not saying this would work on every child and I don't know if I even recommend it but it has worked on my son so far. I guess what I'm saying is hiding things from our children doesn't always keep them safe. They eventually will leave the nest and the world will get to them. Preparing our children for reality is how I had to go. I wish my parents wouldn't have made it look so cool and I wish they didn't hide their true feelings from me. Would it have made a difference, I guess I'll never know.
Very brave step.... in my view,u did right thinghope it breaks the circle. True, its important to tell about such things to children, its our duty.
Favouritism of parents
If you're a woman, how do you deal with people saying you're bossy when you're honestly not trying to be that way????
