Someone recently told me to ‘own your methods’ and it was in reference to owning my opinions and my role in my children’s life. I mentioned I don’t too much care for other people correctly my children and she said it ‘own it’. Don’t let it happen, speak up and handle it so that I am happy with my role, so that I am guilt free in my parenting. (This was actually in reference to a particular person in the room who felt it needful to correct my ‘whiny’ son when in reality their son should have been corrected for taking something that was my son’s and then letting me teach my child how to share.)

This ‘owning thing’  made me think of a slew of things…working moms who feel super guilty leaving their kids or moms that work from home and can’t spend every June Cleaver moment with their kids or those moms that just don’t always ‘make the grade’ in their styles. It’s LOVE that covers a multiple of sins not perfection, not owning the guilt, not wallowing in self pity for yelling more than ten times today or whatever…it’s LOVE! Kids understand, get and love…LOVE! Those that stick out to me in my past are the ones that I felt true and real love from…not the one that was the funnest or coolest but the provider of LOVE.

So, for this mother’s day LOVE being in LOVE with your children. OWN YOUR DECISIONS and embrace your reality!   If you can’t let it go then change your reality. Take the plunge and quite your job..there are at home opportunities, or get out and get a job…who cares if you break even on a baby sitter if it saves your sanity…Embrace YOUR ROLE In your children lives and you know what, I bet everyone will be happier in the long.

That is my opinion and I hope that you don’t find anything too offensive. I am trying to live this…it’s not always easy

Happy Mothers Day!
