Ok, Ok, how many times in my life do I wish someone would have hit me on the head with a PILLOW?????? Probably a million plus times, besides, at least there SOFT!!!!!!
I should have learned a lot of things but being stubborn, old me I didn't. Oh how I wished I would have. The funny thing is that now I am trying to get my own family members to listen to me........ only to find out that I am the only one listening to me time and time again. Of course I have gotten wiser now and I just so happen to keep A LOT of PILLOWS at my house and on occasion end up using them.
I guess what this all boils down to is trying to be a parent. Trying to help your posterity learn what mistakes NOT to make in life. Teaching others to avoid the pit falls so that they don't have to stumble and get stopped in their tracks. Basically trying to SAVE THEM TIME AND HEARTACHE.
I decided to have a discussion with my children on this matter and even some of their friends. It was a wonderful discussion and they all had such great points of view and yes all of them were true. But the one thing I learned about all of this was.........
Mom, you have taught us, you have helped us and you have even tried to protect us from all of life's tests, but Mom, eventually we have to GROW UP and LEARN and yes EVEN MAKE MISTAKES. Come on Mom didn't you do all of that? Yes even my own children and their friends teach me. No Mom you aren't a failure, you have done it all and to your BEST. I mean look at all of US!!!!!! That's when I fully understood what they were saying.
On the POSITIVE SIDE OF LIFE, YOU HAVE TO TRUST US AND BELIEVE IN US AND NOT RESCUE US BUT SUPPORT US AND YES KEEP HELPING US TO CONTINUE TO GROW AND ACHIEVE!!!!!!!!!
Like my Son asked me, Mom what does a Mother Robin Bird do to her Little birds when she feels they are grown? She PUSHES them OUT of the NEST!!!!!!!!!
