Kids

Posted on 05/14/08, 08:48 am

I know now why I am a Mother. I went with my son's class on a field trip to the zoo yesterday. I talked to some of the other moms. I was gald to see some dads to go on this. But we were talking about there husbands. They were telling me that there husbands don't do much with there kids. One little boy does not know how to play ball, or other things. I knew than why I am gald I am a single parent. I taught my son how to play ball and other things dad usually do. When I taught him these things his dad was in the picture. But I never said anything to him becuase I was spending time with him.
This is new to me being a single parent. There dad killed himself a year on Thursday and I don't have anyone breathing down my neck and telling me that I am doing a bad job. The mom was so upset with her husband for not giving there son anytime. I just knew than why I was a mother. To give my son the love of a mother to hold him and love him, wipe his tears, clean his cuts. Kiss his bumps and boo boos, tuck him in at night, meet his friends, guide him in life to do right, meet his girlfriend, be there when she breaks his heart, watch him graduate, watch him marry the one he loves, and babysit my grandchildren. So I am luck to be a parent and a single one at it. When you ask some dads that are married or divorced and only get to see there kids every other weekend they really don't get to do all of this. So I feel special to be a single mom of two kids.

    You got it! I grew up without my dad in my life. He had a relationship with my older sister, but not me. He would call the house when I was younger and say, Tonia, this is your dad, let me speak to your sister. And that was it. He wouldn't ask me how I was or anything. Yes it did hurt, but I overcame it by telling myself how much he was missing out on me!!! He was the one that missed my ballgames, graduation, and just day to day things that made me who I am today. I believe everything happens for a reason and I know their is a reason he was not in my life. I can't wait to experience a mother's love and watch my son grow. I will be there for him every step of the way!

    You will be a wonderful mother. My real dad was not in my life either. But I was lucky I had man that wanted to be my dad and adopted me when I was 8. My son will be 8 in August and I still go to his room and cover him up and make sure he is okay. My daughter just turned 2 and I worry about her growing up and dating. So it is a never ending job.
