What I DON'T Want.



Sometimes being the Mom is so damn deep. There is so much to think about, so much to worry about. 

I am responsible for making sure that these precious little boys grow up to be good, decent men. 

That's a lot of pressure.

Do people not realize that their job as parents is not just to feed their kids, put clothes on them, make sure they don't die? 

Being a parent is so much more than that. 

I will be the first to admit, there are  a lot of times I don't have a freaking clue what I am doing. 

But I know many things for a fact.

I know pretty much everything that I do NOT want to do, and everything I do NOT want my boys to be. 
My Wonderful Angels

I do NOT want my boys to be angry, bitter adults. 

I do NOT want them to have a sense of entitlement, or think that the world owes them something. 

I do NOT want them to be bullies, or to purposefully hurt anyone in any way. 

I do NOT want them to see people only for the color of their skin, what they look like, who they love. 

I do NOT want them to be afraid to be who they are, whoever that may be. 

I do NOT want them to think that family is only blood related. 

I do NOT want them to ever live a life of dependence on drugs or alcohol. 

I do NOT want them to ever think that it is okay to sit  by in their lives and not make a difference in the world.

I do NOT want them to ever feel that they aren't good enough to do anything. 

I do NOT want them to think it's ever okay to STOP. Learning, Loving, Trying, whatever it may be. You don't just STOP.

Well, that's all I've got for now, but I will have more, I am sure. 

I just want so much for them, I don't even know how to put it into words. 

I'm sure you mommies know what I mean ;)
