We tell our kids that often things are just “misunderstandings”. I believe you are having a misunderstanding. Maybe you did not bond with your child, I do not know. Having children is a natural instinct and so is mothering/fathering. It grows the love and need inside ourselves. This is what is supposed to happen.
Many women nowadays are so busy I find they did not properly bond with their children. It has become easy to drop them off at daycare or school to daycare so the moms can go be themselves at work. It is sad, because they are giving up time that is so fleeting that you blink and it is over. Your kids will stop bringing you kooky drawings every five minutes, they will stop asking you to read to them at night, they will stop asking for five zillion hugs, they will stop it all. What will you have? No memories, no bond and no love.
My daughter has a long drawn out “baby kiss” she calls it. I realize soon she will stop. She is getting older and she will mature and grow out of it. It makes me feel so special. So every time I am leaving the house and she runs up to me to say goodbye, I get ready to be kissed.
It is time. Go hug your children and call your mother and thank her.
