The age of 6, the tween age
My sweet child, sometimes I'm not the best mother for you, and neither the best friend you dream of, but I know I try to be. Sometimes I don't have self-control and raise my voice, and sometimes I don't seem understanding, but I really try to. I blame myself for not being the perfect mother, but all I know is I love you with all my heart. You're just the perfect child, but now that you grew older, things became more difficult than I thought and you are such a strong spirit. You know how to support your own point of view, even if you think you're right. I love teaching you things, but it's just complicated when you're going against it. I'm not a bad mother if I want to teach you things, and you're not a bad child if you don't want to learn at the moment. But let's find a resolution together. It is not easy, but remember I am your friend, and you have to trust me. I am also your mother, and my love for you is infinite.
Here are my promises, and don't forget I always keep them:
- I'll be there for you, no matter what
- I'll teach you things no matter how much you'll go against it
- I'll love you as much as I love your lovely sister
- I'll forgive you everytime you do something wrong, because you're part of me and this won't change
- I'll give you credit even if the other's don't, because I know you better
- I'll be your best friend whenever you need to
- I'll find solutions to your problems
- I'll keep the secrets you have
Now, here are some things I'm asking from you, too:
- Let me be part of your life, cause I want all the best for you
- Love your sister, cause she'll be your best friend when you grow up
- Respect people, be empathic, cheerful, positive, devoted to all good things, people and moments
- Be proud of yourself, say "hello", "thank you", "you're welcome"
- Always trust your parents, even if you think they are so intolerant sometimes
- Don't trust strangers
- Always tell me about your problems, and don't be afraid to do it
- Keep your promises no matter what,or,if you think you can't, don't promise things
- Make me proud of you for all these, and I'll make you prod of me
