She’s using her mouth to blow water into the bowel of her constipated baby, to help him pass feces, there’re roles which mothers play no one else can, there’re some duties mothers shoulder no one else can, when it comes to matters involving child upbringing mothers play much role in the areas of care and love, while fathers play the role of provision and protection, the two persons are needed to raise a child, but a mother is needed the most at the early stage of life.
So when you want to say mummy you’re embarrassing me before my wife, friends or co-workers remember she went very far for you, before you say mummy you’re pestering my life remember she went very far, when you want to say mummy come and take transport fare and go back to the village remember she went very far, when you want to say mummy thunder fire you! remember if she had left you in the rain thunder would have fired you first in the cold, your mother should be your heroine because if she didn’t fight to care for you won’t be where you’re now, you say mummy call me only when it’s necessary while you were growing up did you cry when it was necessary? Did you demand for biscuits, clothes, shoes, meal, toys etc when it was necessary?
Without the attention of a mother the child may be deformed mentally or physically due to the lack of care to foster adequate formation and growth, when she finds herself in the permanent company of a man called husband who abuses her rights and existence of freewill she still stays back for the sake of her kids, most of them often make the comment, “I am only taking all these mess because of my kids,” the bond between mother and child is the only ligand keeping many mothers in their homes in the midst of head knocks, some mothers often say, “I am only taking all these ill treatments so that this man will train my kids to the point they become independent then I will show him the stuff I am really made of.”
I have seem mothers facing situations as hard as death, but they staked their lives fighting very strong to survive till the end, some at the point of unbearable circumstance often take such a decision I call the last choice, either to make plans and escape to an unknown place with her kids or she bows out alone to seek for a new beginning, but that has not detached her love for her kids, from time to time she comes to see them, not her will but the heat of the wrong choice she made earlier forced her out.
A young mother said to me three years ago, “Kanayo I once loved a young man before, we planned to get married, he’s the kind of man I wanted but when I met the man I am married to now, I became confused in my choice due his handsomeness, wealth and height, my parent and friends also convinced me to accept him eventually we got married, he’s rich, but I tell you the truth he doesn’t care about me or our kids he only spends on his numerous mistresses, my marriage is like a hell to me, each time I speak with my ex-fiancé I feel like quitting the mess and eloping with him, but when I remember what my kids may go through in the hands of this man and his mistresses I have no option than to endure.”
So when you look around you and see the sacrifices mothers make for their kids remember that was how your own mother did it for you, the only price you have to pay is to acknowledge everything in honor and respect.
A child is related to his/her father by blood but related to his/her mother by love that’s why many celebrate mothers more than fathers, you hardly see people observing their father’s birthday of memorial service but when mother is involved the whole world will hear of it, that’s how strong the bond is.
Even though her opinions concerning your life may be wrong atimes, her voice may be harsh atimes, but it’s your obligation to treat whatever she says with utmost respect whether right or wrong, then employ the trick of honorable ways to approach her views, in all a mother’s will is to see her child happy, so she always means well no matter what.
“You may be good at other areas of life, but to live long you must respect and honor your parent that’s God’s standard for the blessing of long life – The far mothers can go is very far.”
