Sometimes, as parents, we always think we are the one guiding and teaching our kids
But in reality, its mutual
And sometimes, our kids teach us things that we will never learn without them
For me, my kids taught me things I didn't know or I didn't think I should know or I didn't know I didn't know lol
As they grow, they become individuals with own thinking and way of communicating
And this change happens very fast. Too fast for me
So I get caught off guard
which ended up hurting them
Because I keep treating them as if they have not changed, which meant I ended up resisting the change, and ignoring the change, and unintentionally making them feel unheard and unappreciated, and being blamed for whaat they want to become
I must learn to keep up
I must learn to just listen instead of being quick to judge , quick to step in, quick to advise etc.
My kids teach me how to respect
how to respect their changes
their growth
and no, they fundamentally don't hate me, they just mad that I wasn't able to get them.
They still love me. Which warms me to bits
These are the souls that kept me alive, brought me back to life
I will love them with my life
But love is easy to say, hard to show
I must learn and be humble to show love
