The Let Down Mom.

When a mother says she’s tired, that’s all she meant ! She did not say she wants to drop her child and forget that the child exists.  

When a mother says she wanted some time alone, just her, that’s all she meant . She didn’t say she’s sorry to be a mother and that motherhood was a mistake in her life. 

When a mother says she needs help to get things done, that’s exactly what she meant. She is not incapable.

 When a mother makes noddles for dinner, it does not mean she does noddles everyday of the week and that her daughter/son is a child who does not know vegetables or meats. 

When you arrive at a mothers house and face disorganization, it doesn’t mean that everyday the house is disorganized.

When a mother says she’d love to go out with her friends, that’s all she meant. She doesn’t want to go back to being “single/ not a mother” and like it as if she had responsibility. 

When a mother says she worried or afraid, that’s what she meant! She didn’t say she’s going to falter and much less a coward. 

When you listen to a mother screaming, it doesn’t mean she just screams, probably she has spoken 300 times with normal voice tone. 

When you see a nervous mother, on the edge of madness, doesn’t mean everyday she’s in that situation. 

Do not invent untruths to judge someone, let alone a women who every day, at all times, gives up her own life to live life of another being that she knows is much more important than her. 

When a mom hosted kids at home, that's all she was looking at. Not a badge or a name. She was just giving her own kids some company to play and frolic. In this age when gadgets eat up a child's time,all she wanted was some laughter and noise at home.

When a mom said she lost her youth, that is all she meant and not that marrying was a mistake.She is tired and maybe a tad bit intimidated.

When a mom gets a few kids to sit and study, that is all she was looking at and nothing more or less. The group dynamics create and churn out miracles.

When a mom speaks with smile and some unassuming statements to the opposite gender, that is all she meant. It doesn't mean she is bored of her spouse or is promiscuous. All she was seeking was some untarnished friendship. 

In the world there is no human being able to give up and donate as much as a mother. And we deserve a lot of understanding and fewer trials 

I will pen something about the Dad's soon.

Cheers :-)
