Okay, I have been running into a lot of my old classmates since my DH and I have moved back to our old side of the city. Wow, my eyes have been opened!
I remember feeling like I wasn't able to do anything in high school. I had to work if I wanted a car, I had to earn privilages and allowances, I had to be home when everyone else could stay out as late as they wanted... I remember being so jealous of my friends whose parents did things for them, like buy them brand new cars, buy expensive clothes, give them allowances they didn't have to work for, etc. etc.
One girl in particular who got everything she wanted is so miserable! She has everything: a rich husbandwho loves and adores her, nice clothes, car, everything, a healthy baby, everything that could make her happy, yet her world holds no joy. She is so unhappy and ungrateful. She fights with everyone around her and acts like a spoiled brat still.
There is also another guy who just happens to live down the road from me who was the coolest guy in school. Every guy wanted to be him and every girl wanted to be with him. His parents are stinking rich, so he also got everything he wanted. They bought him the house he has now and gave him, yes I said GAVE, one of their businesses to run. His fiancee just left him because he is a womanizer and she caught him too many times. Guess what, he will probably never be happy.
Seeing them again really makes me appreciate my mom so much! she worked so hard to instill values in us, to teach us how to be happy and healthy human beings, both mentally and physically. I know how hard it must have been for her to always have to be the bad guy, but I appreciate her so much now! I bought her a card and wrote a letter to her telling her exactly how I felt.
So his is to all the mommies out there who believe in hard work, sacrifice, tough love, unconditional love, and God! Never give up, what you are doing will make a difference in your child's happiness!
