What could they be missing?
Isn’t it obvious?! THE GENUINE LOVE AND WARM CARING OF A MOTHER!
There’s just a need to balance the tough and over-imposing aura that a father provides… the kind of balance that only a mother can bring.
Sadly, my kids missed that balance. Upfront, they look fine as if everything’s normal… but I know deep inside that everything is NOT normal.
Of course, I try my best to fit both shoes – the tough, firm and disciplinarian father and the warm and caring touch of a mother. Trying to bring “balance to the force,” so to speak.
Then again, we all know that it’s just not the same… it will never be the same.
Nothing can bring the balance back.
Because there could only be one mother who can really fill that void… unfortunately, it can never happen. EVER.
The kids are fine. Now.
But somewhere down the road, that imbalance could take its toll. I just hope that when it happens, I have already made good in my dual-role for them not to be shaken too much.
As it is, there nothing much more I can do aside from whining.
As the sayings go… breaks of the game… that’s the way the cookie crumbles… the cards have been dealt and I have play with my hand (yes, pun definitely intended).
