last night i struggled. with being a parent. parental decisions. between wanting to hold them tight but then knowing that i had to let them go. can i be honest here? okay. last night... i so wanted to say 'go ask your dad' so that he could tell them no. i hate being the bad guy ALL the time. their dad is in their lives but im the constant. the constant stablizer. the constant referee. the constant emailer. the constant bank. the constant taxi. the constant heart mender. the constant sounding board. the constant bully. the constant drill sergeant.
but i'm also the constant love and soft place to land. and that makes up for every little complaint i just laid out for you all. and then some.

This post is a perfect picture of Momma-love. Momma-love. There's nothing like it.
Yes, the things you pointed out at the end of the post make up for the things you have to do at the first of the post. And Relyn is correct, it's a perfect picture of Momma-love. One thing you may not know since you're in the think of it right now, is that it also makes for a beautiful relationship when they are grown. They will still love you and respect you and come to you first when they need support -- phycial, emotional and all other kinds. Hugs to you all.
