I have always loved and respected my Mom, but since having my own lil' cubs, I have a whole new appreciation for all she did and sacrificed.<br />My first Momma Bear protective moment was still in the NICU. My 17yo nephew came to visit the babies. He got a twinkle in his eye and leaned over Paige's isolette. I didn't know what he was doing, so I grabbed his shoulder and hissed, "if you scare her I will kill you." I am not violent and typically don't make death threats, but at that moment I completely meant what I said. He was just being goofy and whispering that he was her favorite cousin. I felt bad after, but don't mess with a Momma Bear's Cubs!Bethhttp://bethwillrodandthequads.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-862119380821669042.post-1357250707819207472010-01-24T20:55:04.080-05:002010-01-24T20:55:04.080-05:00This is a wonderful post and it's something I&...This is a wonderful post and it's something I've been giving a lot of thought too but on a different kind of spectrum.<br /><br />My mother wasn't the classic kind of mother..she was very self-absorbed and selfish (she still is). <br /><br />One of my biggest fears in becoming a parent was that I was going to lack that maternal instinct...that need to want more for your children than you have, to want a better life for them that you had and to love and protect them so fiercely that you would give your own life for them.<br /><br />I wanted children so desperately but that was always a huge fear of mine. Needless to say, I obviously got past it...I'm not sure how I ended up so different from my mom but I'm so glad I am!Helenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10743718606624231459noreply@blogger.com
