The real love of motherhood is not a give and take, but to know the appropriate exit

Often people ask whether to have a child is to pass on the family name or to raise a child to prevent old age? In traditional Chinese culture, parents are the natural benefactors of their children, and as long as you are still alive, you will never be able to repay them. Unless you are like Nezha, you will never be able to repay your father for his bones and your mother for her flesh. And the more the elderly feel that they are raising their children for old age, the more likely they are to suffer and feel bitter inside. Putting aside secular notions, there is actually a touching answer: to give and appreciate.

Japanese writer Kotaro Isaka said that the thought of parenthood actually do not have to go through the examination, it is really terrible, a sentence said the parents are not easy. Neither can we make our children feel that childhood is barren, nor can we make them feel that adulthood is suffocating. I heard a story about a 57-year-old mother with a 31-year-old son who was just about to retire when her son got married. Over the past two years, in order to facilitate the care of her son, she moved to her son's neighborhood specifically to cook breakfast and clean up after her son every morning, and then returned to her own home at night after cooking dinner and waiting for them to wash up and get ready for bed. One morning she went to her son's house but found that she couldn't open the door. It turned out that her daughter-in-law had changed the locks on the door, and at night her son hid a key from her daughter-in-law and secretly gave it to her mom. The next morning, mom just arrived at the door of her son's house, she heard a quarrel inside. Daughter-in-law said you see you by your mother spoiled, every day home just know in the sofa a lie, nothing to do, almost clothes to stretch out the hands of the meal to the mouth. You're just a child who hasn't grown up. Can't you persuade your mom to go dancing like other women? Don't stare at us like a camera every day.

Mom didn't expect to get this kind of image for all her hard work. When she got home, she told her partner about her grievances with tears in her eyes. The old partner comforted her, look at your colleagues, they have traveled all over China, some of them have been around the world. But for them you have not been anywhere, mom a bet on the old partner pulled to run to the grasslands on the Damshang. In the herdsman's house, mom was caught in the ewe giving birth to the whole process, the old partner took this opportunity to persuade her, nomadic people all year round in the migration. If the sheep mother is also like you, never let go, then how the sheep live ah, and again, who wants to marry a spirit has not been weaned sheep it? The seven-day trip to the grassland finally made mom figure it out, and she went straight to the cell phone store when she got home. Changed a smart phone, and then called to tell the son want to go to his home at night, the son was surprised to say: Mom, you do not have a key? In the evening, mom went to her son's house with her partner and reported her whereabouts for 7 days. The daughter-in-law looked at her mother-in-law's new cell phone and immediately opened Alipay for her and transferred 3,000 yuan. With the help of her children, mom became a smartphone and Alipay owner. On her way out, mom pulled the key, which symbolizes sovereignty, voice, and parental authority, out of her pocket and handed it to her son. She said to him, "Mom may not come often in the future, and even if she does, she will call beforehand. The son said, "Mom, what are you doing? Mom is not angry, just learning to withdraw, the son embraced his mother. Mom's eyes got moist all of a sudden. She knew the goodbye started with that hug. So parents please don't treat your child as if he or she is the only one. For the sake of their children, they do not have their own social interactions, do not have their own hobbies, and do not care whether they are happy or not. This kind of education brings nothing but stress and mutual torment to children. In today's society, the formation of the "mama's boy" is not the result of the child's one-sidedness, but also the mother's inability to withdraw. To help the child laundry, cooking, cleaning is just a mother's eyes on the son's love, is a shallow love, and the real mother love is actually a decent exit.
