[QUOTE="Albatross, post: 687650, member: 17720"] Oh yeah, the FB brag-a-thon. Puke-worthy. I have developed a different take on Mother's Day after getting to know some Warrior Moms around here. Moms are here posting, researching, soul-searching to come to terms with a relationship that has defined them for many years, and from which they have gotten little in return. Actually, getting little would be an improvement for many of us. Many of us get PLENTY, none of which is desirable or rewarding. But we keep doing our mothering thing. We keep loving them. We agonize over how much to show that love, because frequently it results in their drawing blood from us. But it doesn't mean we love them any less. Those moms who lift the rear ends of minivans off their children have nothing on us. We have shown some feats of amazing strength and steadfastness with little or no expectation of anything in return. I like what Copa said. No expectations. And if we answer only to ourselves, then I have to say the moms I have gotten to know around here are some truly awesome moms, and I hope everyone can take pride in that. [/QUOTE]
