Basically the above was my mantra
and is my mantra with my daughters. I know modern day thought is OMG this woman
is a Troglodyte, we
are supposed to be our children’s friend! No we are not… the title mother is to be and always
has been in human history “unique and held in high esteem” … the mother is the
hand that rocks the cradle and as such it is said, Mothers are the
most powerful people,
because they shape
their children's personalities. And these personalities (a mother’s child) are who
will govern, and add to or distract from society in the future.
I know it is not “current”
to say such things as “boundaries” anymore, children are looked upon as being
like “chickens” they should be allowed to “free range” in their formative years
and discover themselves… on some level that is true but not to extent society
is allowing children to do now. Children are a blank page so either “the parent
is going to write on that page, or society and its current trends will” …
