I am a nurturer of all people. I always thought I would be a great Mom, but was I as good of a Mom as I thought I would be when my kids were young? What I know is that I was the best I could be under the circumstances at the time, and during those times it was rough for many reasons I am not going to digress here. No matter, my son and I would have dance parties after dinner many nights, I bought my daughter I don't know how many pairs of ruby red shoes and re-glittered many of them as well to go along with her Dorothy theme of years......I taught them both how to cook, I read them bed time stories every night, cheered on and supported their creative selves. I was the Martha Stewart of Birthday parties, even had a food fight party, etc. etc......Yet that's not really ALL what makes a good Mom. I loved my kids hard. Did my anger at times make them think otherwise? Was I emotionally available enough for them? I gave them affirmation, rooted for them, introduced them to culture.....the world.
You might really judge me here, but as my kids are grown now, I know it worked out for the good.....I also told my children that we are not from this planet. That our species existed on another planet much like earth and was destroyed so we came to earth. My son, when very young, came home one day and told me he learned all about a planet we must have been from and also that he felt his second eyelid blink. At first, I thought this tale of mine might be problematic, but it eventually became about how we are unique...and to this day we all say every now and then to each other , "We aren't like other people because we are not from this planet." It's our family Mantra. My daughter said something like this most recently at our past dinner gathering when my son, her brother, was in town over the winter holidays.
So that was my lead into Mother's Day coming soon and not just about making a sale. It was also about being human....I said all the above with my heart involved.
Now You better get your game on for those women who still worry if they were good Mothers of children now adults, and those women who are still Mothering young children, both of who have done and still do the best they can do under all circumstances.
