I still remember it like it was just yesterday, The day I gave birth to my beautiful baby girl. Pitch black hair and bright blue eyes. That was 16 years ago, almost 17 now. When she was little all she ever wanted was to be just like her mommy. Putting on my shoes and my clothes, painting, I literally mean painting 🎨 her face with my make up trying to copy me as much as she could. Those days are gone now.
is history
As soon as they hit puberty, everything parents do is stupid, crazy, old fashioned and they NEVER ever want to be like you. What happened with that little girl that used to adore me so much. That questions everything you say now and tries to fight over everything. Not on a daily basis thank god, but every now and than she can become a little devil, Tells me she can take care of her self and that she knows what's best for her. She doesn't really need me anymore to look after her (except when it comes to borrow her some money) She was a big girl now. So I let her figure out stuff by herself as much as she can.
The other day she came home with swollen red eyes and I asked what was wrong. My baby was hurting 😞
She started crying again, yelled something and ran upstairs to her room. It was hard to see her like this but I wanted to give her some space and let her decide when to tell me what was wrong, because when you ask to much, you are to nosy and when you don't ask you don't show enough interest... confusing but we will get there..eventually lol.
15 minutes later she came down again and told her that her boyfriend broke up with her, Her very first real big love, My heart was breaking at that moment. I wanted to grab that little idiot by the shoulders, give him a good shake and tell what a fool he was to let go of such an amazing girl... but I didn't say a word.. because moms know nothing when you are a teenster right.. and just held her tight, All of a sudden she was my baby girl again that still needed her mom. They want to grow up so fast to become adults, but sometimes they just need to be your baby again.
Welcome to the big world sweetie
