I'm glad you've reached that point with your mom. Remember...moms might not like us either!

A couple of mothers in particular always made me want to offer my own mom to my friends!lizgwizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10907508137794025189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25689012.post-27966041985817128312007-10-30T02:32:00.000-04:002007-10-30T02:32:00.000-04:00I think I respect my mother now more than ever.

I never really bought into the Mother-Son/Father-Daughter theory, but now that I am a dad, I get it. You've hit the nail on the head... We are always seeking approval from our parents... but for some reason it seems easier for a son to get that from a mother, and easier for a daughter to get it from a father. Weird cycle...<BR/><BR/>Maybe it's a system of checks and balances...Mr. Socialhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15538885380006128711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25689012.post-71812173599578636972007-10-29T21:33:00.000-04:002007-10-29T21:33:00.000-04:00I think it is okay to dislike our mothers- I did f...I think it is okay to dislike our mothers- I did for many years. i have found that my letting go of my negative feelings about her, I was more free in general. Once I accepted her for who she was, and not the person I wanted her to be I became a happier person overall. <BR/>That's just my two-cents. Thanks for letting me share.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
