Letters To Me.. er.. from my last post about mother’s day, I just said that I never really like Mother’s Day. To me, it serves as a justification for ‘sacrificing’ for our family’s sake. This is my opinion. The capitalist romanticized this event so well that every florist in the globe is busy preparing for mother’s day.

But maybe, that will changed when my kids start giving letters and picked flowers to me.

As for now.. I have nothing to share but this.

But my Chico never fails to give flowers to me every time he got the chance.. and the boys never fails to say how lucky they are to have me.. if it’s what mother’s day is all about, then everyday is Mother’s Day to me.

Last Mother’s Day I was flooded with so many greetings. And with that, I back off. That is the reason why I was not seen anywhere (fb, blog, chorva, twitter) last Sunday. I never thought how a very special day became so commercialized and that every one where somehow ‘obliged’ to celebrate it.

Last week, I was mumbling to myself how hard it is to be a mother. You have no time for yourself.. you are not allowed to rest. You cook, you do the laundry.. you feed the kids, mop the floor.. but you know, you can actually stop. Get rest and don’t mind them. Mother’s are not born to be a saint. We are human beings, and occasions like Mother’s Day made us feel that we are born to ‘sacrifice’ because of hte blah blah quotes. and though I love to use it, deep inside me, I loath it.

We are moms. BUT we are woman too.. we are individual and for us to be a more effective mothers, we should take care of ourselves first and foremost.

And that’s my message to all the moms out there. It is OK to feel guilty. It is OK to feel mad being a mom. It is OK to sometimes regret being a mom.. BUT it is NOT OK to turn your back to those little beings that you brought into this world. It’s not sacrifice, it’s called RESPONSIBILITY.
