A mother said
"I was crying when my 3 year old walked into the room, he walked up to my dressing mirror and rolled out paper towel and brought it to me. I collected it and used it to mop my brows in pretence. Perhaps he would think I was just sweating, he collected it from me and mopped my tears away and he said "Mimi, stop crying. I would get you hot fudge cake" and I looked at him oozing innocence. I really do not blame him, nothing wrong with him was greater than what a pack of sugar could fix. I nodded in submission and I stopped crying."
Another son asked his father.
"Dad, you complain about your father and how dead beat he was but you have been the best dad to me, where did you learn how to be this great?" He asked his father.
"Son, I am only giving you all the things I wish I had..I know what I wish I had and that way I could raise you into someone I wish I was raised to be".
Children are as innocent as their environment. A child that has only known love would be able to give nothing else, but nothing trumps the cuteness of a little child in the middle of distress.
You see a man incapable of loving his wife, speaks tons about how much love he was exposed to while growing up. He either never had a father that loved his mother or a mother and father that thought him to love himself so that way he grew up in his own understanding of emotions.
You were raised in pure hatred and serial conflict, though it might derail you a little bit but it won't define you if you don't learn it.
Because at the end of the day, the seed of love you passed down wouldn't be referenced to your parent's bad parenting but to your own bad parenting.
Another mother said.
"I was sick one day and my two children age 3 and 6 made tea for me and rocked me till I was able to gain back my strength while my supposed husbandman was on his phone complaining about his clients and their lack of co-operation"
This children here know their mother and the amount of love she showers on them. The tutelage they should have gotten from both parents, they got from their mum and it seems like it really paid off.
Irrespective of their father, they grew up to be lovely and they were able to express a synonymous affection they got to their mother.
Remember two unconscious mentorship of love in the life of a child is
- How much Mother and Father loves each other.
- How much Mother and Father loves me.
It doesn't matter if you weren't taught how to love. For the sake of the rest of us, Do Learn it. The last thing the world needs is another Deadbeat parent!
My name is @aksapphires
And my language is Love.
Love is the greatest gift a parent can give a child. Studies have shown that children who grow up in peaceful and loving home tend to be better adults compared to those who grew up in dysfunctional homes.
Let love lead.
