Are you happy or sad to be a mother/father?  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 76/100. ongtina (556) 2 years ago

First, I'd like to wish all moms a happy mothers' day. Are you happy or sad? Why?

Before going off to work, my second son(18 years old) said,"Today is mothers' day, what do you want?" I felt happy in a way and yet at the same time, there's a sad, hurt feeling. My youngest son(10) brought my autistic son(12) into the room. I told him in a frustrated tone to just do his own things and not bother about his brother. When they came out, my autistic son said,"Happy mothers' day." I know it's the youngest that had heard the second, so taught the autistic. My eldest had already left for work. My husband had asked in the morning,"Where are they(sons) working?" My sons are working temps so are on and off located at different places. I couldn't answer my husband. It's often the case. I don't know what or where my sons are/doing. It's not that they won't tell me, but rather that I didn't ask. I see my friend would know where her sons are, what they do, even to what time they'll be back. My husband too would always ask and want to know, but unless he asked, I don't do it. See why I'm hurt and sad? I feel I'm just not good enough but that's how I am and I'll feel tired if I have to keep on tracking everyone.

What about you?

I am very happy to be a mother. I don't know what my life would be like without my children. they are such a big part of my existence. There is no greater joy in life than being a mother.


myLot reputation of 76/100. ongtina (556)  2 years ago

Yes, I know. It's really a joy to have them, and yes, they'll be a very big part of our existence. Too big a part for me so at times, I just felt like I'm suffocating, cos no self space and time. Guess I'm not too good a mom so I felt sad on mothers' day cos they have me as mom and not someone better. But I'm happy for you that you're happy.

I heard someone say once "you will never know the true meaning of guilt until you are a parent" and it is so true. I have two little ones and everyday I feel like I've failed at motherhood. Why didn't I spend more time with them? How could I yell at them? Why couldn't I just sit down and let my son talk to me instead of being too busy? Why didn't I play with them? They deserve better than me but I feel like I do my best. Parenting is bittersweet we want the best for them but most of the time it's more than we have to offer. I am happy to have two gorgeous healthy children but sad I cannot be what they deserve.

Yeah it's strange how it's so rewarding and yet so heartbreaking to be a parent
