Just a Thought
During my daily reading I stumbed across this quote, “A mother understands what a child does not say”. For me I sat at the kitchen table and high fived myself, when you are able to say without reservation that you can anticipate the needs of your child before she/he gestures for your immeidate response, what a gratifying experience. I was challenged on the position of spoiled vs. need addressment and as you can imagine I was so taken back that I nearly threw the bird and ran for cover from the emotions of waking the sleeping baby after Mama has worked for over an hour to get their baby to sleep.
Spoiled, to me, is a state of circumstantial existence. Needless to say the conversation ended with me drawing my line in the sand with these words- no two journeys to Motherhood are the same, no two babies are the same, and if my overarching goal of raising an emotionally intelligent being that knows, values and appreciates the genuiness of pure love, adoration and being of value than f*** you and your thoughts… …
I will not under any circumstance, with the strength of the Lord, raise a child that will need to recover from her childhood [PERIOD-T]. The way we treat extensions of self [children, spouses, co-workers, in-laws..] is ultimately how we feel about ourselves, Queen stay true to yourself! The world will through you curves but you got this- do everything with love and love somehow finds its way back to you!
