I've decided I don't think I'll be able to have kids.
I just can't imagine putting up with the same Hell I've given my mother over my 29 years.
Constant worry. Constant fear. Constant teaching. Constant praying.
I'm 29 years old and my mother is still teaching me things.
When I was a teenager, I was the worst. I stayed out past curfew, I smoked, I drank, I went to parties every weekend, I yelled, I cussed, I screamed.
College got better but there was still underage drinking. I still partied.
Now as an adult I still do stupid stuff and my mom is still there to help pick me back up.
I don't know what I would do without her.
I am also not sure how she still has hair on her head or hasn't shot me dead.
Words don't even begin to describe how grateful I am to have her in my life or have her as my mother.
I'm an only child, it took 5 years of trying for my mom to finally get pregnant with me. I should work hard every day of my life to be that daughter she always dreamed of and wanted. I should thank her everyday for trying so hard to conceive me. Sometimes my actions don't always say it and my words don't ever seem to be enough but I hope my mom reads this and knows I'm trying to make her proud of me every day of my life.

And I'm a true testament that being a mother is a full time job as well as the hardest job you will ever have.
Thanks Mom!
p.s. props to all the moms out there! you're AHHHH-mazing!

you took the words right out of my mouth with this one!
such an awesome post :) just found your blog and wanted to say hello!
awww I think most parents feel the same way about the struggles they encounter with their kids... they love us the same no matter what. And for some unknown reason, they are happy to hae us.

not to stray off subject - but your comment on Carissa's blog had me laughing out loud. Junior from Problem Child! BEST MOVIE EVER!
so sweet! it really is such a full time job. along the lines of parenting AND the movie problem child, once when my sister was litty bitty- while we were at the beach, her and her friends went over to our neighbors when they weren’t home and put a bunch of sand and twigs on their porch. When asked WHY, they said they were trying to be like Junior from Problem Child. Hahaha, ok ill stop commenting now.
This is an awesome post - same goes for my mom as well. I need to tell her more often how thankful I am for her!
Sweet! My mom would cry if I ever wrote a post like this. I bet it did make your Mom cry! loved it.
Aw, this was great! I was such a terror to my mother when I was a teenager sometimes I call her up and say sorry, when she asks why I'm saying it, I say, "oh, just because". Maybe I'll dedicate a post to her :)
I love this post and can completely agree with it. I'm so nervous to become a Mom in Oct and hope I can be as patient and understanding like my Mom was with me.
Nicee share
