Moms: The Unsung Heroes of Our Lives | LOH #237
Hello everyone, today's topic is "Mother's Day." It's been a long time since I've talked about a topic like this, especially when it's about my family members. Ah well, since my childhood, I had trouble with my mom as she was very strict with me. No matter how many times she scolded me, I could not help but love her. The love for my mother could never fade away, no matter how rough things got. I've always loved her from the bottom of my heart. She always had her place, and no one could drag her down from there.
Yeah, there were some times when I was mad at her, and too aggressively I said many things to her. Also, with instant regret, I pleaded for an apology, and she never accepted my apologies, which was very annoying for me at that time. At one point, I stopped apologizing as she never accepted it anyway. But later on, as time passed, our bond changed. The way she used to treat me changed as I grew up. In my childhood, my mother was pretty much distant from me, but when I grew older, she became clingy. She was clingy before, but now she started to show me affection, which I needed when I was younger.
Right now, everything feels weird as she hugs me randomly and kisses my forehead. I feel if she had treated me like this earlier, things could have been different. But no matter how much bitterness I felt before, everything went away with time. I started to enjoy my time with my mom, and our relationship got better as she tried to understand me instead of scolding me. My mom finally knew what I really wanted to hear from her, which I had been craving for years. I don't know why I could not confront her about it before, but now everything has changed. I'm glad I've finally built a friendship with my mom. I've never hated her in the first place, but I was always frustrated that she would never try to understand me.
I know that being a mother is not easy, as she's not only my mother; she's also an individual person with her own life. But I was a kid back then to understand this. It was my first time in the world, and it was her first time being a mother. Being a mother comes with a lot of costs, as she bore me in her stomach for months, and giving birth brought many changes to her health. I can completely understand her situation now. As I'm a grown person, I know her better.
I feel "Mother's Day" is fine to celebrate, but we should always treat our mothers well every day, just as we try to do on "Mother's Day." I often try to buy my mom her favorite foods when I go out, and I also buy her flowers randomly. I think she deserves this kind of treatment always, not only on special occasions. We have one life to live, so I’d better do something for my mom in this life.
Thanks for reading 🌷

Yes, one life it's better not to stay mad with the loved ones that would waste of time.
I believe that strong personalities soften with age, and as children grow older, they better understand the reasons why their parents were strict. Hugs!

I had plenty of arguments with my Mom from my teens going into my young adult years. That was because I was an academic disappointment to my mother's expectations, my Mom excelled at her university studies. Whereas I finished at the bottom of my class. When my father died in a freak accident I took over on behalf of the family until my Mom can get back on her feet again. Years after my father's absence I drew closer to my mom and there was a point my Mom admitted she was proud of me. Since then we put our issues behind us and she meant better for each of her children.
I agree with you @zoe01
She may not be perfect, I've never loved my mother as much I do now.
Thanks for sharing.

I'm tearful after hearing your side of story, I can already guess how you have felt because I also did feel something like this. Thanks for sharing with me 😭 I hope everything goes well in your life 🌷

Beautiful text about mothers...
Reading your article reminds me of an old friend whom I have never heard from again.
I hope she is ok!
Actually, my brother has different point of view than me because he is the most loved person in our family, so I've always felt neglected but everything is fine now. All I did was express my feelings on Hive. My relationship with my mother is healthier now.
