I would say that the mother who wrote that article never really took the time to get to know her children. I feel like I am going to tear my hair out sometimes when she wants the same book read for the 100th time... but reading that book for her does two thing 1. The repetition helps her to recognize that those marks mean something and it is the same thing every time. 2. my daughter realizes that what she wants and needs are important. There are days that I long to do grown up things but then there are the moments when I am waiting with impatience for my daughter's nap to get over so that we can go outside and explore. NO ONE said that motherhood would be easy, constantly stimulating, or create scintillating conversational topics. However it is easily one of the most fulfilling things I have ever done in my life. I have done a lot... but nothing NOTHING I have done creates the same glow of pride that my daughter creates in me when she uses a new word correctly or manages some feat that she couldn't a week ago. So I feel sorry for that bored mother... not because she is bored... but because she has missed so much. Wow what a shame!
