"There is an enduring tenderness in the love of a mother to a son that transcends all other affections of the heart."- Washington Irving
Mother always tends to give everything they have for the welfare of their children. Whenever their children are hurt they are the most being hurt just by watching their child in pain and they can't help to ease it. Mothers often do most of the sacrifices just to give their children a better future ahead. Often they work out of the country with bigger salaries to give comfort to their children. That's always their nature, to prioritize their child before themselves.
Growing up I saw how my mom raises us, though with difficulty, but successfully we live to her standards on how to raise a child. She became a mother at the age of nineteen and by the age of twenty-two, she already had us three. Nevertheless, we are nurtured well, we grew just as chubby as we are before.
Mom also does small labor like waving(rattan) before just to help dad with the expenses at home. Still, she keeps on track with what was happening to us at school and home. My Dad was strict especially when it talks about education and proper knowledge but Mom always assures us to do what we love regardless of how Dad treats us whenever we didn’t exceed his expectations.
Whenever we got high scores or we got awards, Mom never fails to buy us some treats as a reward for our hard work in studying.
I look up to the traits my mom had shown us and as I became a mother I always give what is best for my son.
They say lucky are the kids who have their mothers tending to them. I must say I’m lucky I bore such a smart child. He tends to make it his rule not to give me headaches by obeying all I say to him. Nah, I’m not a perfect mom at all, but it’s just my nature to command him whenever I need to be away for work.
And it’s also my nature to pamper him every time I get the chance and the resources to do so. My sister always told me never to give him everything he asks, but what can I do, I love giving him everything as long as I can.
Mom always told me to control myself in pampering my son but she has never done that before, whenever I want something, she always gave me and never complains. Not that I always ask every time.
Mom also said it’s a mother’s instinct to give their child the things they truly need to make them not feel like something lacks in their life.
As a single mom, I tend to get nervous every time my son asks for his father’s whereabouts. “What if he’ll go with his father”, “what if he is not contented on how I am treating him”, or “Maybe he wants a father not a mom like me”. I always had these doubts over the years. Not until my son reassured me as I have shared in my previous articles. On how he said that he only wants to recognize his father but it doesn’t mean he will go with him and that he’s contented with me or just the both of us together.
As I said earlier, I’m lucky to have a smart and kind son like my son. He may sometimes become uncontrollable with all his activeness in playing but he always reassures me that he’ll never let go of my hand no matter what happens. And whenever I need to go to work, he feels sad and always cry but he’ll just say: “I cried because I’m gonna miss you for a week but I love you a lot and I know you’re doing everything for me so I understand.” Imagine hearing this from a kid, that’s how lucky I am.
