I know for a fact that I will love my future kids (I already do) but I hope that I’m compatible with them.
I want to know them and I want them to know me.
This. Growing up, my mom established from an early age that she wasn’t my friend and that I couldn’t come to her with issues and stuff. I want my children to know they have a friend and a compassionate heart in me.
!!! My mom was that mom that was not a friend… Hence why she is in Texas, and I moved all the way to Philly to avoid all contact
That makes me really sad. I’m sorry it’s like that for you.
My mom was one of those people who said that you can talk to her about anything but I saw how she acted about regualr petty stuff and I knew I could never be comfortable enough to tell her anything. It’s sad as hell because sometimes people just need an outlet but are too scared 😭
Your momma will never be your friend, she’s your momma, but she’s the only one who can forgive you even if you’ve done the badest thing in universe
It’s 2018. We can chill with the whole “not being friends with your kids” thing.
It’s okay to have a bonding and open relationship with your children.
My mom gave me that false pretenses open relationship too. Little things always got blown up and when I did open up about stuff, I’m still hearing about how it negatively affected her or how I disappointed her.
Well it’s up to us to be different from our parents.
