Is it possible that children will hurt their mother, physically or emotionally which seems so cruel that is inappropriate against the law of the land and with God?
A short story
There was a high school student who is a daughter of a poor woman who used to be a nanny. But her daughter was well provided with her basic needs from clothes to her daily allowance to go to school every day. One day, her mother visit her on campus, and when her mother was approaching their room, her classmates ask her, "who is she".Is that your mother? She answered, "No, she's not my mother, and she hides at the back of her classroom so that her mother wouldn't see her.
Her mother knew about her daughter's behavior on that day, that is why she never visit her in school again. Until, one day when the graduation ceremony comes, this day was the most painful moment for her mom. Her daughter arrive early in school, and she told the security guard if she sees the woman (which is her mother, he should not let her in, and the guard agreed with what she says.
Her mother came to the gate of the school and was very excited to see her only girl but she couldn't come in with the school. That's why she just stare outside the school gate while her daughter was walking on the stage. Her mother looks so tired from work and doesn't have a nice dress to wear that's why she feels ashamed of herself.
After graduation, she never saw her mother anymore, and then she tries to find her anywhere. But her mother spends most of her time with her work every day, she never has enough rest, just to make her feel relax.
She continue her studies until college and her mother supports her all the way, she never have time to be with her but she always hang out with her friends.
This story happens in real life who feels ashamed to claim that her mother is not looking good with her dress looks so untidy.
There are so many ways that we can hurt them and sometimes we just become unaware that we did it already.
Some factors that we can hurt them;
Disrespectful
This story that I have narrated happens in real life, and it's so clear that her daughter doesn't respect her by denying her as a mother. I can't imagine the pain that she gave to her mom. Respecting them is showing how we love them as a higher authority. To feel ashamed of how did our mother's appearance look like is not the right thing to do. They don't deserve to be treated this way for they have given too much to us their children.
Verbally
When it comes to relating to our mother like having a conversation, there's a point where a child did not pay attention to what she said, or answering them with harsh words would hurt them a lot.
Neglecting them
Some kids act like they don't need their mother's presence, or despising them, especially when they get old, or ignoring when they get older. By not showing them care, and love and helping them when they need us.
I have seen some children who let their mother worked for them like doing household chores even they are already married or mature enough to do their things, or it's physical abuse by letting them work for their children's family and treating them that seems like not a part of a family.
Our mother's sacrifices cannot be repaid from the time of pregnancy until we are born on earth. In taking care of us when we got sick or when we are having a hard time, they are the ones who always run to us with a helping hand. Whether intentionally or unintentionally the children should be aware in what way that our mother will be treated correctly and giving them respect every time.
For all we know that they are emotionally very sensitive women, teary eyes, that's why we should always be treating them with love. As a mother, it's very painful when your children don't value your advice and good point of view when they are given advice or reminders of what they should do or say. Most of the time children start to disrespect because of some influences outside also and even on social media. They became unaware that what they do isn't right.
Some factors that impacted them are
Social media
Colleagues or friends
Too much desire
When they achieve great things
When they already can stand on their own
When they are not spending time with their parents
When they did not have a close relationship
When they choose to become rebellious because of selfish desire.
They spend long hours of online games
Some words that will hurt
I don't need your advice
I hate you
I want to do what I want
You don't own me
I wish to have another mother
If I just could pick whom my mom is
Maybe the last two enumerated factors are not spoken verbally but it uttered for real especially with the kids who are being disciplined by their children which they don't like.
Another thing is;
By forgetting their special day
By not inviting them during our special occasion
By not letting them play their role as a mother
By not trusting them
By ignoring their effort for you
By not introducing them to your friends
Our mom should be our;
Best friend
Best companion
Number one fan and supporter
Out best adviser
Out best teacher
And there are so many words left which is a perfect description for a mother.I never thought that there are some people who underestimate the woman who gave birth to us.
What were a mother like?
They are like our resting place
Whom you run for rescue when no one comforts you, it's our mother, who always understands us and keeps us always in their hearts.
Shield
It's a mother's instinct to protect us and keep us away from harm. They will fight for us if needed and willing to sacrifice in times of scarcity.
We may get married and grow old but once and for all, there's no one on earth like our mom.Materials things will easy to replace but our loving mother is the one in the world.
Children have no enough reason to hurt their mother, even if they say that she's not good, or not doing well.Its not a valid reason for hurting and wounding their hearts.No equal words can describe their sacrifices to care for us.
One thing that even me,haven't done yet is," saying I love you to her".In our family we never been showing affection to them like hugs and kiss them but deep in my heart I am so grateful to have a mother like my mom,"Susana".She's the only woman on earth that loves me unconditionally and accepts my bad and worst attitudes comforts me, and always share her best.
Mothers heart is incomparable
Things of this world is nothing at all
Day and night she's always there
Especially when I get sick
She never sleeps to watch over me
She never say never
Or ever say surrender
She's always loving and tender
Even if the kids will not do the same
She always share her love
Nobody who boldly love
But she who gave birth of me

Ganun po talaga. Meron dito sa amin, subrang kayod na ng mama nya para makapag aral sya. Kasi single mom mama nya. Pero kahit ganun, nakikita namin kung gano nag sikap mama nya para sa kanya, pero di naappreciate ni anak yung ginagawa ng mama nya. Masakit lang kadi may magulang na ginagawa ang lahat pero nagagawang e take for granted. 🤧
