Good day everyone. This is my first post in the mother hood community. When I joined hive two months ago, I was happy. I wish to grow with the community and I believe that would happen as I stay consistence from now.
I've been battling with many things lately. I know everyone has problems. Most women suffer a hell from their husband but because of the children, we keep our home and try to manage our husbands. I'm not saying we women are perfect. We have our troubles too, but the men are the head. They have the responsibility to calm us because we have feeble minds.
I lost my first husband when my kids were young, so I had to remarry. After a few years, my husband parents begged to take them. They were in primary school at that time. I discussed with my current husband and he said we should allow them to go, so I took them to their grandmother in another state. But ever since then, it has not been easy for me to see them. We only talk on phone.
So this month, there was a ceremony, and I thought that would be an opportunity to see my children after many years. Of course, I send them money and clothes, but I think that wasn't enough. It took time before my hubby allowed me to go. I had to keep my kids with my mother in other to relieve him of the stress to take them to school and prepare food for them because he's a very busy police officer always on duty.
I was happy when I saw them. Prince and princess has grown. In fact, prince has grown taller than I do. He's in senior secondary while princess is in junior secondary. They were happy when they saw me.
To my surprise, all the families welcome me warmly with happiness. Some of them cried when they remembered their brother which was my husband that passed away. The love they showed me throughout the days I spent was overwhelming. What really touched me was how my children reacted when I was leaving. I can't take them with me. My current husband is okay with their absence, so what can I do.
But the joy of a mother is the children. I was happy I didn't forsake them. They are living well where they are. When I asked princess what I could do to help, she said, "mum, we don't lack anything here, but if you wish to help us, you can just keep sending little money."
After I left, I cried. But at least, I'm still in touch with my children and the relationship is still cordial. I look at some women that would leave their children without looking back. How did they get the mind to react to a child they carried for 9 months.
I will keep posting here if I have anything to talk about concerning my kids. Pouring out my joy is sweet to me. Thank you all.
