There are mothers who think if they are just the child’s fried it is all they need. But children have a lot of friends but only one mother.
It does not matter how old you or they, become you will always be the mother and it is your job to help. I have seen so often at school that children with young mothers are struggling as this child’s mother do not realise he or she does not want them to be friends with their friends. The mother must be the one who invite the friends over after school. Mothers who want to listen to their child’s friends and join in must think twice. If you are just a friend to your child, where will this child find a mother to give him or her some courage and knowledge about what life is really about.
It is wonderful to be a child, but as a mother you have had your turn, now you must be the one to listen and love and forgive and teach. When we have a second child we always say that they get the same love and attention. Mathematically this is just impossible, as there is only 100% and we do not have 200% to give them all our love. So for sure it becomes 50% but it is possible to make them both feel good and that there is nothing that you will do for one that you will not do for the other.
So please mothers your children grow up and they will always need a mother no matter how old they get so make the best of your time with them as long as you can. And the most important thing that I as an old lady today can say is love them like children and not like a friend, as you are not their friend you are the one that God picked to look after the children he sent to you.
Please do not mess it up, as we only have one life and if we do not treat our children and teach them, God will want to know why?
Some people who want children so badly just sometimes never get the chance so don’t throw your gift away that God gave you and make the best possible child that you can.
We are not allowed to hit or shout at our children, but if we bring them up the right way, we will not have to at all.
Children are gifts and they can be taken away as they are only sent to us to make them into good people. We are just so lucky if we see good children grow up and teach our grandchildren the way we taught them.
When this happens we know we did something right.
May you have a wonderful day, and be happy.
God bless us all.
