Yesterday was Mother’s Day so I hope all of my blog mommies had a wonderful day.
Today’s post is about Mom Advice.
When I was a little girl, my mom always taught me to treat people the way you want to be treated and I have to say; that is almost 100% right. If you treat others with kindness, you’ll almost always get it back. I say almost always because you don’t always meet the nicest people. They can be bitter for a number of reasons, who knows. It could stem from their past, what they are going through or just something they are having a hard time coping with.
Another mom advice she taught me is that moms need to make time for themselves. It doesn’t necessarily mean that it makes you a bad mom wanting alone time, it’s just that it makes you a better mother. Moms need a time out just like kids do and when we have that time to just relax and unwind, it makes you feel rejuvenated and refreshed. I agree with that. Ever heard that saying, “When mama ain’t happy, nobody’s happy!”. So, so true..
So, what is some advice your mom taught you? Please, share your stories.
LOL ~ Think the only advice that I can remember that she gave out loud was “Wear pretty & clean underwear everyday in case you have to go to the emergency room!” 🙂 Seriously though, she and my Papa truly gave their best advice by how and what they did their whole lives and are still doing, for others!At 85 & 84, they still do Meals-On-Wheels and volunteer almost every day of their lives – always trying to help others’ lives be better – they are amazing parents!
Wow, they are. That’s great. I wish you all the very best!
My mom taught me not to take myself too seriously. This piece of advice is priceless and comes in handy in multiple situations: marriage, parenting; career…you MUST be able to laugh at yourself – it takes the pressure off, sets others at ease and creates an environment of acceptance.
thanks mom!
