Motherhood
What Kind Of Mother Are You?
5 types of mothers that we all know.
I am a proud stepmother. I enjoy every minute of being a stepmother to my stepchild. It’s a role that I didn’t want at first but it turned out to be the role that I needed the most to grow into the person that I am today.
I am not rushing yet to have children of my own even though the majority of my female friends have kids. I like to observe them, learn from them and note down behaviours that I wish to avoid when my “time” comes.
“Your world changes once you become a mother” — people say.
I disagree. I believe the world stays the same, it’s you who perhaps changes. Sometimes the changes can be good, sometimes bad.
Many of my friends and even my sisters have become people that I don’t recognize anymore. Why? I am not sure. When?
When they became mothers.
My mother that I knew was a woman who lived in fear. I’ve known a woman who feared heights. A woman who never drove a car. A woman who found faults in everyone, as no one was ever good enough.
But that was the memories I’ve had of her — before me, she was someone else.
