A Mummy's Anguish

Mothers are great.
We worry if the kids have enough to eat.
We worry if they eat too much.
We make sure they have enough toys to keep busy.
We worry that they are spoilt rotten with too much toys.
We worry if they don't read by a certain age.
We worry if they read too much (and start wearing glasses)
We feel guilty if we don't spend enough time with them.
We feel overwhelmed when we spend too much time with them.
Before we have them, they were the only thing we ever wished for.
Once we have time, we live their lives. And we lose ourselves along the way.

After we have them, we appreciate our mothers even more.
