We often take our Mum’s for granted, choosing to either ignore – or simply not see – the numerous sacrifices they continually make to aid us in living a better life.
They ask for nothing and yet give us everything.
Just because they just want us to feel good about ourselves.
Happy.
Safe.
Content.
Comfortable.
As we grow up … develop … they are always there, looking on.
Living in a state of quiet, constant conflict.
There’s the undeniable sense of pride as the see us take bigger and bolder steps into the big, bad world …
But it’s always mirrored by a quiet sense of concern that along the way, we might experience or endure a pain that they can’t instantly whisk away.
With a kiss, a hug, a word or a plaster.
Mothers don’t want us to hurt.
Their protective instinct never fades.
They constantly and continually want the best for us and they’re selfless in that goal.
So next time you complain she’s treating you like a child, stop for a moment and remember this isn’t about annoyance, it’s about love.
And we’d be nowhere without them.
So thank you Mum.
For everything.

Comment by andy@cynic February 6, 2012 @ 6:23 amThe best advice I ever had:
If you want to love your kids properly, love their Mum
Dads are the planners of parenting, mostly unnapreciated, mostly mocked. Only sometimes useful.

Comment by Rob February 6, 2012 @ 8:44 amthats fucking fighting talk.
Comment by andy@cynic February 6, 2012 @ 8:49 amSo what’s the difference with Dads then? Is it they slap their heads in frustration, tell you to pull your socks up when you’re upset and kick you up the arse when you’ve done something stupid or let them down?

Comment by northern February 6, 2012 @ 5:53 pmYou’re a bit of a softie Rob, but your posts about your mom always make me call mine.
Despite all the complaining that we do, it’s annoying how often our parents turn out to have been right.
Comment by Rafik February 6, 2012 @ 12:03 pmGentle. Insightful. Lovely. Good start to the week Robert.
Comment by Lee Hill February 6, 2012 @ 2:48 pmOh, thank you Robert. For me, being a mother, your Mother, has always meant fulfillment, lots of love to give and receive, excitement at following your progress in life and (may I say it?)pride in the person you have become. Alright, there have been and there still are some ‘hitches’ like jeans full of so many holes it was a miracle they stayed up (do you remember?) and now tattoos, not wearing socks when it is cold etc., but I can live with them!
