Today is Mother's Day and irrespective of whether your Country is celebrating it or not, Mothers day is everyday ...
A MOTHERS DAY MEMO FROM A BLOG VISITOR
In my teenage and young adult years, I wished for a marriage blessed with 5 kids. It didn't matter which gender outnumbered the other, as long as I had 2 of each. Later on, I reduced the number to 3. Male and female. Outnumbering gender not relevant.
Right now, I have only 1.
Do I want more kids? Absolutely! I have chosen a name already. I have chosen names too if God blesses me with twins.
I read testimonies of marriages blessed with the fruit of the womb after long years. I rejoice with them but silently say "not my testimony". Why would I be excited that I had a baby at 50, after 25 years of marriage? How much can I do for the child at that age? Why is that testimony more important than the life God has given me? Why is that more important than other goodness of God to me? I am 36 and I do not wish to buy baby diapers at 40 years.
Pregnancy is a beautiful thing but I really feel sad when women go through undue pressure, suffering and humiliation just to get pregnant. Some undergo belly pumping just to look pregnant. No fetus. Just fufu. Why the theatrics? Why go through the hassles and pains of countless IVFs? Some adopt children and steal/buy children secretly and guard it, not to protect the child but due to their low self esteem. If not, how else will someone have a new born baby looking like a 3 weeks old baby.
Let's not forget the spiritual baths too.
There are a lot of untold and familiar stories about the journey to have kids.
After all these, will the child be worth it? Will you be truly happy?
I am open to adoption. I will let my child know they are adopted because I wanted them. No secrecy. No coming to me years later to say I deceived them or to find out why our genotypes have disparity.
What are you saying? Don't you know that no one can care for you like your own biological kids? Really? Are (were) you very caring to your own biological parents?
Must someone be your biological child before you can love them unconditionally?
In the light of that logic, I am also open to surrogacy.
If you are a fertile ground and can take in every year, fine. If you are having a hard time being pregnant, instead of all the emotional trauma, miscarriages, humiliation, sadness, endless prayers, joylessness and worry, why not widen your horizon?
Take it easy on your vagina and womb. Adopt a child legally and give the child your best. The world will always adjust.
The world is evolving. We learn, unlearn and relearn. In a world of so many battles, why not leave a battle that has a known victory.
Whatever your journey, God bless you.
Mother's are priceless and we celebrate them and all women still waiting.
Add your Mother's day memo if you have any.....

Why hide to breastfeed a baby in front of your fellow woman?
Because there is no milk!
Some men who have medical conditions that make it impossible for them to sire kids arrange with their wives to have someone knock up their wives on their behalf.
Let's not forget the spiritual baths too.

My adopted child will have the same privileges as my biological child. If after giving my adopted child a good life, and they wish to look for their biological parents, that is the problem of their privileged ass. Not mine.

Is that the only one to not feel pain and hatred if they failed you?

Happy mother's Day to us all!
ReplyDeleteMothers are priceless (I mean the sane ones)
Being a mum is one of the best thing in the world, the pain is totally forgotten immediately the baby is born and they know how to upset you and also make you happy.
Motherhood is a blessing and should be experienced by all the women that want to have that feeling of caring for some cuties.

I can never ask for a better mother than u my lovely mum, u are the best Iam lucky to have u in my life mum. God bless and keep u alive for me and my siblings and your grand kids. U are a blessed woman
ReplyDeleteStella maami, please join your voice and pray for my mum, she is my greatest treasure. My mum is brave,bold,courageous and she really wanted me to have a better life than herself.
DeleteSo my dad is a civil servant, but he also runs a small beer parlour dt my mum assists him in. Stella, my dad made it clear dt I was not to further my education despite all my mum's pleas, she sighted so many examples of females that did/are doing well through the help of education but my dad still refused. My mum took it upon herself to pick small money from the shop to save for my education and that was how my mum started daily contribution of a thousand naira for me. After two years,we had about eight hundred thousand naira,at the same time she told my dad to atleast send me out to learn a trade,he actually agreed to that. My mum still continued with the contribution, that is the third year. I wrote jamb while still going to learn my tailoring, thanks to God,i got admitted in school by then I was eight months into my tailoring. I had to combine my tailoring and school,it wasn't easy but my dad still had no idea about anything. It was just myself, my mum and my younger sister that knew. I finished my tailoring, my dad bought machine for me,I had to start sewing little by little at home. To cut long story short,by third year my dad found out I was in school,he was so mad,he stopped my mom from going close to his money in the shop,he frustrated us but God of heaven stood by us. From the money we had left,I paid my school fees,I had to double my hustle via tailoring so as to meet up,it wasn't easy. I came back from service last year, and my dad has been telling people that he is proud to have a graduate,dt his first daughter has made him proud bla bla bla. I just want to gather money and go rent my house so I will stop seeing his face cos the more I hear him boast to people about my achievements, the more I hate him. Am still into my fashion designing,no job yet but I know I will have one soon cos I know God will not let the labour of my mother to be in vain....Amen. Bvs please help me celebrate the best mother that ever liveth. I love you mummy, you are my strength, my role model, my confidant and the best prayer partner. God bless you mummy (please forgive any typos,am very emotional now)
Chai,may God bless her plenty o.May she live to reap the fruit of her labour,amen
