She isn't perfect

Date: September 5,2021 Lead picture was me and my imperfect mother yet, a lovely and precious one. Hi, Goo day. Sharing something with you. Something open eyed article and interesting message to everyone. The love of every mother is the kind of love that you will never experience with anyone else. The kind of love that will never ask for any return. But not all Mothers are the same in showing their love. Others considered you as their investment. You have to pay for everything that she has done for you. Which is very wrong mindset of our Filipino culture. But despite of that we should still be thankful to have them. Having a mother is the greatest blessing we can have. She is the reason why we're here. Don't get mad if they can't give you what you wanted to have like others. In my experience, I have an irresponsible mother according to my siblings. That is because when I came to this world, it was my sister who took care of me. For the reason that our mother neglected me and just think of herself. They are so disappointed because our mother is not like that before. They have no idea how my mother became irresponsible at that time till i turn 5years of age. My mother didn't really totally abandoned me. She was just an alcoholic person, she was always drunk and no time to care for me. I have 4 sisters and 4 eldest brother and I am the youngest (bunso). The kind of life we lived in were difficult. My siblings were not able to study because of poverty.However, when I grew up, I have realized the hardships that our mother have faced. Being a mother is not an easy job. Imagine that she gave birth to eight children. Maybe she got tired already by their situation and when she gave birth to me, she just got enough of everything and decided to withdraw from her responsibility. If I were my mom, I will surely scold them and tell them how hard it is for me to care for them for how many years. Maybe what I had in mind was not right but as a family it is a must that we also help our parents especially in household chores. Adulting & Realizing everything As I grew up, I have discovered that the love of a mother is cannot just be based on the way they took care of us when we're still young until we reach adulthood. Because in my own perception, the moment that they have carried us inside their womb for how many months and endure the pain of giving birth is already a proof of their sacrificial Love! That's why we don't have the rights to blame our parents if they can't take care us properly, we have no rights to scold them. As their son and daughter we must think of initiative help. We're not just their children, if we only knew how our mother carry us from their womb. They always says that we are their blessing from God above. My point is be a blessing to your mother. And give it back to them by helping them in the households works. Many young people don't understand the meaning of love. They thought that their mother should shoulder everything in their household. But for me, that is not good if you want to build a happy and healthy family. Because I believe one day we will become a parents too. I know it is our job to take care of our child till they reach adulthood but let's not also forgot to teach them the basic things and establish sense of responsibility while they are still young. Parenting isn't easy and this is only my opinion. However, I believe that every parents have different ways on how they raise up their children. And I respect all the parents in the world. Thank you for reading my article. May the Lord God bless you even more.
