slacker mommy files

    It has been almost a year and a half since I became a mom, and another five to be a mother twice over. But it is only now that I am really becoming a mother. Maybe it is just now that I’m finally letting go of my stubbornness and am finally am taking full responsibilities for my actions. For the first time I think I have matured a bit.

    Lyka is not a naughty child, as some might say, but she is no angel either. She is my true rival when it comes to stubbornness and strong willed-ness. But somehow, despite frequent clashes with her, we seem to bond tighter. I have no idea how, really, but I am glad for it. Somehow, Lyka is one of the best things that have ever happened in my life.

    Being responsible for another person is not an easy thing. It never is. But somehow, what seemed to be a chore before, when I was still much younger, is bliss now, albeit trying at times. Maybe that is just what being a mom is: loving the fruit of your womb despite anything and everything. Sentimental as it may seem, but there is no other way to go about it. I finally know who I am, and what my lot is… it is to be a mother to my children.
