I go to Facebook today and someone has shared this:
"My promise to my kids~I am not your friend..I am your mother. I will stalk you, flip out on you, lecture you, drive you insane, be your worst nightmare and hunt you down like a bloodhound when needed because I LOVE YOU!! When you understand that, I will know you are a responsible adult. You will NEVER find someone who loves, cares and worries about you more than I do!"
Am I the only one who sees this sort of thing and thinks "well that's one way to ensure your kids move out and never visit you again"?
Then there's the nauseating ones about mother's of boys protecting their princes and no other woman's love ever being able to compare etc etc. I start to wonder if anyone thinks for themselves any more!
And it isn't just parenting memes, it's the "if you can't handle me at my worst, you don't deserve me at my best" ones too - why???
