“My mom has always worked hard. Therefore, as a child, I did not spend time with her too often, and she did not have the opportunity to constantly teach me something. But when I grew up, I suddenly realized that my mother taught me even more than I could count! ”
1. I didn’t learn to cook signature dishes from my mother
Mom did not have time to stand at the stove for a long time and delight us with masterpieces of culinary art. She taught me how to cook the simplest and fastest meals so that I can always cook something for lunch. We did not gather at the table with the whole family every evening, because my mother had no time.
I didn’t learn to cook from my mother, but I learned to appreciate what she did for my sister and me. She worked a lot and almost never took a rest so that we always had food in the house!
2. I didn't get used to the fact that my mother was always ready to play with me
When I asked my mother to play with me or go for a walk, I invariably heard in response: “I have a lot of work, play with your sister”... Mom did not spend all her free time on us, because she simply did not have it. But my sister and I have become practically one. We always helped each other and came to the rescue, played together at home and walked on the street.
I didn't get used to the fact that my mother was always ready to play with me, but I realized that I was not alone. It is thanks to my mother that the relationship between my sister and I became very close and strong!
3. I did not learn to have a rest in the summer with the whole family
My mother practically did not have vacations, she worked even in the summer. From early morning until late at night. Therefore, we did not go on exciting trips, did not go all together to the circus or to the amusement park. Instead, my sister and I spent all the summer months alone, playing with other children in the yard or sitting at home watching TV. But if mom had a day off, then our joy knew no bounds. Even when we just went for a walk in the park.
I didn’t learn family summer vacation, but I did learn to appreciate the time spent with my mother. And enjoy an ordinary family walk!
4. I didn’t learn from my mother not to notice difficulties
She did not protect my sister and me from the harsh world around us. She was always busy thinking about how to feed us and put us on our feet. And his work. We were not protected by my mother's skirt from all life's difficulties and shocks, but we learned to endure them more easily and recover faster after failures.
I didn't learn optimism from my mother, but I learned to be stronger. Yes, she could not shelter us from cruelty and protect us from black stripes in life, but she helped us to endure it easier!
5. I didn't learn etiquette from my mother.
My mother did not teach me and my sister all the wisdom of women. I didn’t learn a sense of impeccable style from her, I didn’t learn to do perfect makeup. But for us, she has always been the ideal of a woman who did not bend even under the burden of everyday hardships.
I didn’t learn feminine manners from my mother, but I was able to figure out how to become a real woman. My mother gave me invaluable life experience and simple worldly wisdom!
For me, my mom has always been a role model. And it remains to this day! Despite all the hardships of life, she continued to give us her love and care, worried only about our cloudless future ... And I sincerely hope that someday my child will be able to be just as proud of me!
