Being a mother is the hardest job

I think being a mother is the hardest job on the planet. Of course, it's rewarding, but we handle so much. What do you wish you could do better as a mom? What are you proud of about yourself when it comes to being a mom?

Rock-a-bye Baby

Most of us are embarrassed to sing in public but how many of us sang lullabies to our kids?

My mother used to sing to me but it was really the songs my dad sang to me (and he was no singer) which I remember. I passed those on to my children (or, at least, I sang them) but I don't know if they remember them the way I do. They have never said!

My mother used to sing 'Rock-a-bye Baby' (but to a different tune to the one most Americans seem to know - and it always grates when I hear the other tune!)

What lullabies do you remember and do you think that music (whether it's sung or played) is a very calming thing for little children?

Grandparents & discipline

0 comments

This always happens to me whenever I am at their house. When my daughter has done something she should not have done, I sometimes am strict with her and these are the times when my parent’s interfere telling that she is just a small child. I hate it when they do that! Now my daughter has learnt to run to them when I scold her or ask her to do something. I do agree grandparents can be a little lenient, but to the extent of spoiling the child? My father gives her chocolates everyday! I tell him not to do that and so he gives it to her without my knowledge. The child anyway comes running to me telling that grandpa gave her a chocolate. I am so frustrated. When will they learn and how do I make them understand? It has gone to the extent of me not taking my daughter to their place quite often just because they spoil her. What do I do?

Parent Involvement in Schools

0 comments

I am amazed to see what some parents do to make their children do well in school both in studies and extra curricular activities. There is a fancy dress competition in my daughter's school for lower nursery students and some of the kids including mine have enrolled themselves for that. The other day, when we parents(read mothers) were having a small chat after school, I could sense the mothers present there so tensed as to what their child would wear and how she/he would talk etc. One mother had gone her way out and refused to even tell others(to the point of being rude to others including myself) what her daughter was dressing up as. But she made it a point to ask all the others what they were planning. Finally, anyway, her secret was out and she was so disappointed at the other parent who revealed it!

There was something I noticed in all the mothers present there. They wanted their children not only perform well but to win the competition. That is ok. But they were putting undue stress on the children and the poor kids looked so bewildered as to what the fuss was all about. I am more than happy to let my daughter participate. I know I will enjoy it as well as she. It is an added bonus if she wins, but it does not make any difference to me. For me, participation and enjoying what she does is more important than winning. And as far as the competition is concerned, the kids are three for crying out aloud! I don't know what all the fuss is about, getting all worked up for their kids to win! Or am I the only one who thinks this way? Does it mean I am not competitive enough? Please share your views.

(And today was the preliminary selection and my daughter got selected!)

For my mom for Mothers Day

Large Amethyst and CZ ring

Sunday is Mothers day, do you know what you are getting, and or giving? My husband, and kids got me something that they have managed to keep a surprise, so I do not know what that is. I did ask for, and buy I guess for myself some gemstone identification tools. I still want the refractometer, maybe for Xmas. This lovely ring, I made for my mom for Mothers Day. It is a large emerald cut Amethyst, that I bought from Fire Mountain Gems. I love their amethyst, and they are my main source for that particular gemstone. I then had to find a setting to set it in, no easy task I quickly found out. I found this heavy sterling silver CZ ring on Ebay. I removed the center CZ, and replaced it with my Amethyst. My mom loves big, and bold jewelry, and has been asking me to make her an emerald cut amethyst ring. I hope she loves it. So what about all of you?
