Parenthood... Hmmm...
Hi hi Bee.
Happy Public Holidays.
How have you been?
So, long weekend, huh?
Saw this movie, ' Riding in cars with boys,' about a young mother and her son.
It is about a 22 year old who is married to a junkie and has a 2/3 year old son whom she ends up taking care of all by herself.
Yea, yea, she has her parents to chip in once in a while but when you decide you're old enough to handle certain responsibilities, there's just so much your parents can do without seeming pushy or overbearing.
You know when the bible says there is time for everything, it sure makes a whole lot of sense.
It sure is hard having a tiny being TOTALLY dependent on you for EVERYTHING.
As much as some things are fun to do for fun and because every other person seems to be doing it; there's all the time in the world to have sex, spend forever with someone, see all the sights, take in all the sounds, do all 'em goofy things... but for the love of all things good, don't bring a child into all that drama.
Kids shouldn't have to think about how wrong things are at home or with their parents. They should be left to be kids..
......to dance in the rain, play on swings, be carefree. Not worry about fees being paid on time or the rent or how to evade the landlord by being quiet.
They shouldn't have to pick sides either. They aren't judges or legal practitioners.
*eyes rolling smiley*
Every child needs 2 parents. Scratch that..2 happy parents. No child needs to have to babysit a parent or tiptoe around them.
I think that's why we should work at making the right choices because as much as we can pick our choices, we can't pick which resulting consequences of those choices that we'd prefer.
Sometimes, we forget that kids remember a lot. We think they don't because they're little and so I guess its easy to overlook their feelings..
Hmm...
It sure is hard.
Enter......Emotional Bank Accounts.
Strive to make more 'deposits' and God-help-you less 'withdrawals' in your relationships.
The Golden Rule.
But in this case, 'Do unto kids what you'd have preferred an adult or your own parent do unto you'.
Oh well.
What do I know. I don't have kids yet. But this? This I know. When certain things happened to us as kids, we probably didn't understand. Why would we? we were kids. Maybe we didn't quite get the whole picture. But we didn't forget any of it now, did we? Maybe pushed to the back of our minds,blocked or blanked out.
Hmmm..
On to happy thoughts.. I can't wait to have twins :)
Have a splendid break.
Cee.
