Unlike my mom, I'm going to be patient, kind, loving, forgiving, understanding and I'm going to show my kids I love them each and everyday. I'm going to play with my kids, read them stories or sing to them each night, love them equally, put them in the activity of their choice (after they play baseball and join ballet), and have a strong relationship with all my children. I don't want them to be raised like I was. I don't want them to go through the horrible things I've gone through. I don't want my future family to be broken like my [current] family is. I just don't want my children question whether or not their parents love them or not and want to come home at the end of the day.
Just a few moments ago, my mom yelled at my little brother for accidentally unplugging the television, which stopped her shows from recording. After being confronted by my mom, he hid in the garage and cried until I (later joined by my sister) went to comfort him.
After talking to my siblings, I went to finish packing for my trip. While I was heading back to my room, my mom (indirectly) told me very angrily that all the shows stopped recording and how it interrupted her "very important" baseball game and so on and so forth. I calmly explained to her that her son is a little more important than a silly T.V. show and that it was my fault Adam [my brother] unplugged the T.V. She, as always, shook her head and said nothing.
My mom is a strong, courageous woman, but she is also very short tempered, hypocritical, selfish, demanding and stubborn. She puts her wants and needs before anyone else's and isn't afraid to speak her mind. Which, can be a good and bad thing, depending on what it is she's saying.
I am very grateful for everything my mom's done for me and my family and the sacrifices she's made for everyone. I'm thankful for the things she's taught me; I have learned from her mistakes. It's because of her that I know how to raise my children, and I am very thankful for that. Think about it.
