Parenting is, for sure, the most important and the hardest thing I ever had to do. Don't take me wrong I was born a mother, spent my childhood playing with my dolls days and nights, my teen age baby sitting (even for free.) I always loved kids and will always do.. I was blessed with the most precious, intelligent and beautiful 3 little boys. I never thought it would be such a responsibility, God entrusted me with those three precious lives and I am trying my best to raise them into beautiful young men, teaching them my original culture and language ( french), exposing them to my husbands culture and language (spanish,) teaching them acceptance of others, no matter their race, religion or sexual orientation, teaching them about healthy living ( natural medicine )and healthy eating ( organic. food) Teaching them how to respect and preserve Nature. All these values are very important to me and I feel blessed to have this great opportunity to pass them on, to plant those little seeds in hope of bettering tomorrow's world. If you have kids, you know that it does not always go according to plan, that "the perfect mother" is more of a myth believed by childless people. The real truth is that when you are a mother you do the best you can given the circumstances, your little ones will make you proud, very proud, and also they will embarass you, make you cringe sometimes. It is all good... welcome to motherhood. It sure helps to have a good sense of humour, to know how to pick your battles, and to compromise, compromise, compromise. What if my baby climbed in the toilet when I left him unattended for a minute? it seems horrifying at first, then he seems to have so much fun, that it turns into a good laugh, a kodak moment and an unscheduled bath in the middle of the day ( a very good scrubing from head to toes.) Should I be ashamed to post that picture for everyone to see? sorry, I am not the "perfect mother." The truth is that we all still laugh about it, except for my now seven year old baby who is still a little be ashamed.
