MISUNDERSTANDING MOTHERS
Is a mother mean or loving when she does what this mother did?
• I loved you enough to ask where you were going, with whom, and what time you would be home.
• I loved you enough to be silent and let you discover that your new best friend was a creep.
• I loved you enough to stand over you for an hour while you cleaned your room, a task that should have taken 15 minutes.
• I loved you enough to let you see my faults in everyday life – Children must learn that their parents aren’t perfect – only Jesus is!
• I loved you enough to let you accept the responsibility for your actions even though the penalties were so harsh they almost broke my heart.
• But most of all, I loved you enough to say “No” when I knew you would hate me for it, and perhaps never get over it!
Mothers who act in this fashion are loving, not mean.
