Hello, men! ✨ A woman who is watching you closely (but without judgment, I promise!) is writing to you. 😏
Let's talk about you. More precisely, about you before and after that great moment when you first hold your child in your arms. 💕Oh yeah, you change. And it's damn obvious. 😜
But one thing is especially interesting - what happens to you and your mother? After all, your mother is the first woman you loved. ❤️ To the point of teeth grinding, to hysterics at three years old, to "don't interfere, I'll do it myself" in adolescence. And then... then you yourself become a dad. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 And then the magic begins.
📌 Moment one. "Mom, how did you stand it?"
Yesterday you couldn't remember when her birthday was. And today you call her in the middle of the night: - Mom, is he not breathing? He's lying quietly... is that normal? 😳
Welcome. Now you understand why she didn't sleep at night, why she lost her temper, why she sometimes screamed, cried, and then smiled at you, as if the whole world was you. 🌍You are finally not only a son, but also a fellow parent. 👏
📌 Moment two. "Mom, I'm sorry..."
Oh yes, this moment always comes. Especially somewhere around the third hour of non-stop childish screaming. 😵You catch yourself thinking: "God, how much did I act up as a child?!" 🙈
And suddenly your mom turns from “I need to call for the holidays” into a saintly woman who raised a child without going crazy. 🤯You whisper: - Mom, forgive me for all the “I don’t want to eat this” and “you don’t understand me”... 🙏And even for calling her “strict” or “stuffy”. 🤔
📌 Moment three. “Thank you for being there”
When you become a father, the concept of “family” takes on a new meaning. You are not the only one who is family now. Your mom is also a part of this new universe. 🌌Now she is a grandmother. 👵Now you call her for help not because “you have to”, but because you want to. Because her voice is calming. Because she is an anchor. ⚓
📌 Moment four. You yourself become... a mom
Yes, yes, don’t be surprised. In a sense. Because now you yourself are learning to care, to be patient, to forgive, without conditions and questions. ❤️‍🩹You do what your mother did for you. And suddenly it doesn’t seem easy anymore. 🤯
💬 Why am I writing about this?
Because men often seem so cold and distant. ❄️ And then I see how one of you, rocking a child, suddenly starts talking about your mother. 💭And his voice becomes soft. And his eyes sparkle. ✨ And everything falls into place.
So if you have become a father, don’t be shy about calling your mother. 📞 Don’t just send her a smiley, but tell her that you now understand everything. 💌 It will be the warmest conversation in your life. 🌟
