A very close friend often tells me that she used to tell her mom “if you are a mom you are nothing else but a mom”…. Well isn’t it so true?? We waited, thought and planned for years to have a kid. I was so ready to be a mom when it happened and as people rightly say life changes after kids, it did, some for better and some not so much J. My little one is 2 now and a great kid, well most of the times. Being a SAHM is not an easy task but it is fun. Fun at least till the terrible twos and the temper tantrums kick in every now and then. Those are the times when I want to hide myself in a closet or just run.
Then I take a deep breath and think about my mom. She must have wanted to run too when raising me and my sis and we were just 18 months apart. I can imagine how difficult it must have been for her to raise 2 babies, toddlers and then teenagers. Kudos to you mom for being there for us then and now when both of your daughters have become mommies.
Wasn’t I supposed to grow up after being a mom… well that is what was told to me. So why do I need my mommy so much these days? The urge to be pampered by my mom like my school days is overwhelming. The once “ I can manage everything mom” is now very often “ I wish mom was here to help me”. I want to be mommy’s little girl again carefree, secure and loved. Couple of years back I was a daughter and wanted to be a mommy so desperately. Today I am a mommy and I yearn to be a daughter. Is this life’s way of telling me I am still mommy’s little princess at heart and always will be?
On this mother’s day this is my tribute to all the moms and their little prince and princess…some little in age and some little at heart like me.
