3/21/08 Bad Mom? Ok, so on top of all of my "other" stresses in my life, my 11yr old son, (Alli) decided to bust my ass to like the 10th powertoday.<----huh? He wanted to go up the street to go hang out at the park with his friends, except its 7:30 pm. HE'S 11. Of course I told him no, and in return he had a jazillion answers in return. How come all of his friends are allowed to go, and he's not? How come his friends have cooler moms than he does? So after a flood of emotions going through my brain at that exact moment. ( WTF? Am I really not that cool?, WAIT !!! Who the hell is this kid that's yelling at me? I made that kid, and I am sure as hell not gonna be listening to this crap, Am I really not that cool?) And at that same instant that all of these "wonderful" thoughts are going through my brain, I came to the conclusion, ......I'm doing one hell of a good job....I CARE ABOUT MY SON....and that was my answer to him..." I CARE".....Well, after saying that to him, his response was " Mom, can you not care sometimes". " Hell to the no on that one kid". What is it with society now a days? Am I that paranoid at all times , thinking that evil is ALWAYS lurking around the corner to get me or my kids for that matter ? I don't think that I'm this strict parent, and even think that I compromise more than say no. But, even thats not "good" enough. I know that there's a lot of bad in the world. I have seen it first hand. I have "worked" on kids, mangled from car wrecks and drunk drivers. I have seen over doses first hand, and worked on those kids. Am I over zealous? Nah...I really dont think so..I just think that I am acting on pure instinct, to protect my kids at ALL times, no matter the cost. Even if it means. having an 11yr old thinking that I'm the uncoolest Mom ever....I just like to think of my self as that viscous mother lion, looking after her brood. The only difference is that my "brood" is large and I'm not a lion..lol..... I
am a mom. I'm a mom of many.. and I'll be damned if something or
anything happens to any one of MY babies, because of my neglect or
stupidity.<----- Maybe its OCD to the tenth power..... |
