The Breaths We Take
Enjoying my late Sunday afternoon with my kids. They were away for 3 days for their basketball tournament and just got home, tired.Dragged them to the car and took them for some well-deserved ice-creams and other yummy local desserts. Just looking at them laughing makes me feel so lucky to have them as my kids but the same cannot be said about them...
They must have done something very bad in their past lives to get a horrible + terrible mom like moaAnyway, enjoy your Sunday my dear CS peeps and have a great week ahead!
Breath is a short film about the invisible life-force. The video beautifully compiles all of the different kinds of ‘breaths’ we take in our lives. The film was made by The Mercadantes.

And why would you think yourself "horrible + terrible mum"?
Is there reasons for this judgement, or is it bait to get compliments and sympathy?
We all make mistakes in life. It takes a big person to admit to them.
It takes an even bigger person to learn from them and to change so that such things cease happening in our lives.
Habbits and personality traits can be changed if we are true to ourselves and really want to change to become a better person.
You can do it, I can do it. We all can. So if you feel that you are "horrible + terrible", then do something about it so that you are not these things any more.
Only you can do it.
I know that you can if you want to......
Thanks for stopping by
I was just talking to a friend what a terrible mom I am to my kids, especially when they were younger.
Even my own mom once asked me this, "Are you sure you're their biological mom and not their step-mom?"
Other mom will cook their kid's favourite food but not this mom, she'd only cook what's convenient for her
I don't really pay them compliments. Will make them cycle or walk to school when all the kids in their expensive school get chauffeured in nice cars. I don't celebrate their birthdays in a grand scale, always not more than 10 people. Would get them the smallest birthday cake I could find in the cake shop. The list goes on and on...
Deep down I know I really need to change some of my bad traits e.g spending less time online, keep the house clean at all times, show more joy in cooking and make less of those lame jokes where my kids would roll their eyes up upon hearing them...again
You have a good evening Halv0
Usually these thoughts and doubts occurring only good parents.
Don't underestimate your kids in appreciating your hard works and efforts. Get it!!
You show your love for them in your own way, just like they show you theirs. Otherwise they will run away from you by now..
You mean, running away like this?!?!
Sounds to me like you are doing a better job than I did, I think you are a wonderful mum. And look at them in the pics, fab-looking youngsters, in public with their mum, and smiling? You done good!
Enjoy your time with them, they'll be standing on their own feet in a few years.
We all do the best we can under the circumstances...you are a good parent!!...it is hard to be perfect and your children know how much you love them...cheers to you!
I can hear them saying now, "Yeah, right!!"
They are at an age whereby they need to look 'cool' at all times
Gosh, I honestly never thought of that, that I could be bringing fun into their life....never occurred to me at all...Thanks!
Hmmm....teenagers smiling into the camera not common Viv?
I know this is odd, but I was not close with them when they were small. I had a nanny and my grandparents to help out, looking after them. Of course, in the process, spoiled them too but I loved it when grandparents ( in this case, great-grandparents! ) spoil their grand kids.
Strangely, I can now relate better with them ever than before.
Even with the mass so-called parenting book, there's no guarantee that one can become a perfect parent.
I used to read those kind of books when the kids were younger but not anymore coz I follow just my heart, common sense and intuition most of the time
Oh! And also.....
