So the past few days I have thought about what it really means to truly love your child like you should. It isn’t about how much money you spend on them or the brand of clothes they wear. It is about putting them and their needs and wants above your own. I have listened alot lately to women who say they love their children and I think that they do, just not in the way they should. When you love your child the way you should you would willingly be tortured and killed if it meant that they were safe, you would willingly go to jail to keep them safe, you would give everything you own and live in a cardboardbox on a frozen lake to make sure that your child has food in their belly’s, that they are healthy and loved. You would give them to someone else if there was even a smidgen of doubt that you were able to give them everything. Would it hurt to give a child up? Damn straight, and the fact that it hurts is testimony to the true mother’s love flowing in your veins. Children are helpless, they can’t work to provide food for themselves, they can’t cook a meal or clean a house spotless so it is our duty to work for them, to clean and feed them, to give them the moon and stars. I hate hearing about women who claim to love their children yet leave them in situations that could kill them. Seriously if you love your child and you just aren’t having luck giving that child everything they need then either do more or give that child to someone who will do what it takes. I have had moments where I wondered if I was doing the best for my daughter, where I have wondered if she is happy enough and safe enough and I know that if I ever was convinced that she were lacking and that the best thing to do would be to walk away from her then I would be gone so fast. She is my world and she deserves everthing. If you don’t have that kind of love for your child then you do not deserve to be a mother.
