Comparison Is A Trap!!!

I often find myself looking at my past and comparing it to my daughters and their current life.

For instance, when I was kid, we had to wash our own clothes, dress ourselves, cook our infamous pot pies most evenings when mom had to work late, and clean up before mom returned home in the evening.

We were allowed to go outside when she was home, and we dare not let the street lights “hit us,” as she would say!

When it was cold outside, we couldn’t let the “Hawk” get us! Lol. In other words, don’t go outside without a full coat of vaseline, your extra long coat to cover your knees, a hat, and some gloves!!!! Oh, and don’t forget those long johns!!!!

If my mother ever had to come up to the school, I feared for my whole LIFE.

I left my mom notes on her bed so that she wouldn’t forget to sign them when she returned home late at night.

I look at the past, and wonder where did I go wrong with my children??

Anddddddd that’s where the TRAP begins!

I’m not saying that responsibility isn’t important to teach your children, but we can not, I REPEAT……. we cannot compare the two. Don’t spend your entire parenting life comparing your childhood to that of your child’s life!  JUST DON’T DO IT!

Let’s face it….. Our children are a different breed. 😂😂

My children don’t have to do nearly as much as we had to do growing up, BUT it doesn’t mean they aren’t responsible. It doesn’t mean they aren’t good kids, and that they won’t grow up to be amazing women!

Because your/my children will grow to be amazing women, and you know why??? They have an amazing mother in YOU. Chin up, relax, and continue to let your light shine in front of your children.

Don’t give up momma….
