Think about everything we as mothers of young adult children we have been through.
They are always your babies but now the government and society told them they are adults so… you no longer matter as an authority figure the government and society took that away from you. It’s the most evil and worst thing that happened yet it did happen. So now they big, they bad, they broke. 😂😂
What the kids don’t see is that while they are adults now in societies eyes, they are still children in the aspect of absolutely depending on you for everything.
See that just doesn’t make sense if you want to be an adult and claim adult, you as an adult need to accept accountability for your actions. You can’t get upset when you’re in our home and I’m asking you to be considerate and helpful. If you don’t want the responsibility of what I ask you to hold yourself accountable for and you feel I ask to much, because I am trying to help you to the best of my ability to succeed and not struggle like I have in this life, I have no choice but to let you start on your path. However this comes with something altogether new that I was trying to spare you from right now, while figuring everything else in life out.
Unfortunately to behave as an adult you must conduct yourself accordingly which includes financing yourself. I have no issue financing my household and taking care of your needs. I simply can’t finance both and it’s not my responsibility. You’re always welcome to come home all I ask is you follow the household rules, be helpful and considerate the same as we do.
This is where it gets tricky dude we’re moms so they are our whole fucking universe and meta verse they are all, they are everything, and all we want is to protect them, guide them, help them and love them unconditionally.
We as mothers know them like no one else. Yet there time is here where they are selfish and to be honest in some ways rightfully so it is time for them to begin anew, think of it as Rumspringa.
Let them find they’re way, you truly love them I promise they will return.
You can’t control them and you shouldn’t want to now that they are adults you need to treat each other with the same respect love and accountability as well as trust!
Trust them with them as you want them to trust you with you.
Do you know what I mean?
They are us absolutely and we all know it, you don’t want them telling you what to do right?
They’re adults now too they feel the same way, let them come to you.
Now here is the heartbreaking part of it all because they aren’t really adults, they’re still learning and growing just like us and they haven’t had the same life experiences as we have had.
The life experiences which teach us how to handle hard conversations and situations until we lived it first hand we don’t know what it truly is. So they are often reckless with our hearts, emotions, time, feelings because they know it belongs first to them 😂❤️😂 so they take it for granted.
When they are hurt angry or scared and can’t tell those who hurt them they project their pain and anger unto us. Why because we are home, we love them unconditionally, we are their mommy’s and we have never and will never leave them. So when the pain becomes to great they throw it all at us and it’s not fair but we did it to our mothers too and their children will do it to them.
I know it hurts but I also need you to realize we did something else differently we taught our children how to think, speak and treat themselves.
We taught them to not take shit from anyone including us, so when we are acting in a old toxic way of parenting they’re not shy to let us know it, they’re also not so kind the more they have to say it. They are not wrong.
The approach needs working on. They have so much pain and anger from childhood because we did fuck up, but now so much how you think. We fucked up by trying to find love and create the perfect home……. When we saw it was a trap and toxic we were already stuck and couldn’t get out fast enough damage was done.
We as mothers figured it out and want nothing more than to undo the pain we caused but they are the only ones who can do that and yes with our support and help, when they ask for it.
You have to let them live mama you have to let them fuck up
I know how scared you are but the tighter the grip the less of the control you have over your own life.
This consumes us all and the fear that sets in when talking about setting strong boundaries and having the heart to stick to them sucks!
Boundaries and ground rules need to be set, home responsibilities assigned and accountability on all points set for everyone and equally.
This is your life they don’t run the show we are the mothers this is our lives our homes and all we wish is to help not to be taken advantage of and taken for granted by those we would die for.
If you’re walking on eggshells in your own house stop and start handing out brooms!
Then it’s time to remember who you are and heal your heart. I love you.
