RE: A Single Mom’s Confession: The Guilt behind Every ‘Later, dear’ to my Toddler’s ‘Mommy, look!’

😭😭😭 I felt the sadness you're experiencing Mom. I experience that kind of situation too with my 2-year-old son. But every time I realize how he wants my attention, I immediately shift my anger into patience, because I know that time will come, he will not be that little one who calls me Mommy every now and then. So be patient Mom. I know it's hard sometimes to focus on work and your son, but prioritize things based on what you know is most important. Hugsss... 🤗

Thanks for this advice @mayt. I agree and I regret my actions. I know soon I will miss the way he calls me mommy from time to time to show me things that make him happy. That only means he's sharing his happiness to me now, and I dont want to wake up one day that he will not be telling me about it anymore, that he will have his own world and exclude me. This is a nightmare no parent would want to happen, so while they're opening their worlds to us, we should offer our time to accompany them in it and let them feel valued and heard.
Realizing that and taking action before things get worse will make you the best mom you could ever be... 😍 Your kids will notice and be thankful for that soon. 🥰
Thanks a lot. I appreciate you stopping by for this mom talk.
You're welcome. Glad to meet a mom like you here on Hive. 🥰
It's nice meeting you too!
