What you need to thank your mom for

Gratitude for a parent is not born in the heart of a child immediately. Understanding how hard his mom and dad worked, showing warmth and care as he grew up, often comes to a person only with years.

In adolescence, the child resists guardianship over him, wants to quickly gain independence. Growing up, he misses those days when he had someone to rely on and someone to ask for advice on his parents.

It is only when he has children of his own that he begins to understand why he used to hear the phrase, “Put on your hat.” He is no longer offended, regrets that he upset the parent, he is ready to apologize for being angry, rude in response. He is ready to correct himself, but it is too late..





The same, similar to thousands of others, but very heartfelt story told journalist Eugene Baturina. When she was 36, she wrote an open letter to her mother.

"Mom, I'm wearing a hat. I put it on because it's snowing outside. I didn't even take it around the corner. Imagine how old I am now!

“I eat well. Sometimes it's too good - it's time to stop. By the way, my philologist friends will read this "eating" and unsubscribe from me. But you still don't know those friends.

“The grades are fine. Once there were fifteen thousand likes in a quarter for a composition about Pushkin, I have many written off.

“The room is now in order. Just suddenly it turned out that living in the mud is unpleasant, and looking for underwear for half an hour is time-consuming. Now the vacuum cleaner and I regularly waltz around the apartment and look at the snow outside the window.”

“By the way, remember that I was always afraid that I wouldn’t have a maternal instinct?” Woke up. And I stopped sleeping.

“But I understand you now. I understand, but I don't analyze. They say it’s part of adulthood to take care of your parents instead of analyzing them endlessly. Take care, appreciate, call, complain less and say more often that everything is fine, since there is a person for whom this is the most important news and joy.

“I remember how easy it used to be. My mom said yes, my mom didn't. If she allowed, then she made a decision on herself, released from responsibility.”

“Now I decide everything myself, and I go to you to be little, to sleep and feel like you are 36 years old, and I am only 9, and you can go again without a hat in the snow, catch the tongue of a snowflake and feel safe.” Longer.
