Things My Mother Taught Me

Tweet

Mom's are special human beings, don't you agree? I didn't really appreciate my mom until I had children of my own. I guess thats how its supposed to work. Now that I look back at my childhood and my teen years, I humbly bow down to my mom in love, honor and the upmost respect. Mom taught me the normal things that a Mother teaches her daughter. How to cook, how to iron, how to shop, how to clean. But other things she taught me were priceless. Like if you make a poor decision, you have to live with the consequences or to take pride in what you for a living. My sophomore year in high school, one week a month, Iactually ran our household. I planned meals and shopped for the week, with mom in tow, of course. I learned how to do the math to figure out what meat was cheaper by poundage. I washed laundry, ironed my dads dress shirts for work, vacuumed, dusted; pretty much everything. My mom even taught me how to balance a checkbook; shoot I didn't have a clue. She taught me things that you can't learn in a book; like to love unconditionally, to keep the faith in yourself, in your children, no matter what. If you have a bad day, tomorrow will be a better day. You know what? She always was right. Thanks Mom!! So what did your Mother teach you?
