I was looking at my baby the other day and feeling how much I love her. I was just thinking about how I could never love someone or something half as much as I love her, and then this really wierd thought crept into my mind: my mum loves me as much as I love phoenix It made me cry, so I called my mum and told her I love her. You guys should all call your mum's and tell them you love them. Mummies need/deserve the love!! Make them smile!
yeah, my 10 yo son always tells me he loves me more, and i always tell him he'll never know just how much i love him until he has his own children.
I've thought about this a lot. But my mother tended to be a "hands off" mother. She was of the beleif that too much coddling would "spoil" a child, she couldn't have been bothered to rock me to sleep (it made her feel like she "couldn't breathe" to have a baby sleeping on her,) breastfeeding was "too much" for her, she needed weekends away, "for my sanity" ect. I was an only child, for Christ's sake, and she tried for 3 years to have me. She was FAR from anything like an attachment parent, so I don't think my mothering mirrors hers much at all. She really beleived that "being able" to say "I love you" was the end all and be all of parenting. She said it about 5 times a day, but she was really not attached to me very well. Once when Sage was a tiny baby she was over and I was just taking care of Sage, nursing her and rocking her ect. And my mother started crying. She said, "God, you are so INTO this." I don't know what that meant. sigh.
