ieh21 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 My daughter had to do a project about her family. In it she had to write a blurb about each of us. Of me, she wrote "my maman is as patient as an owl". I laughed and hugged her and asked "Uh, H, have you met me? Patient? Really?" Then I read on and it explained I am patient because I rarely scream. I've been spending the past five DH-less years bemoaning how much I lose my temper with the children. So this statement was a real surprise. Then she explained "you dont yell as much as you could. I know you make an effort." My daughter... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoVerySad Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 For most of my life I've been told how patient I am and patient is definitely never a word I would choose to describe myself. I love how she said she recognizes the effort you make not to yell. So sweet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klim Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 That is cute and it must have felt good. It's reassuring that they can percieve our efforts. One of my feel good moments was when my 17 year old was stuggling away at uni and we'd been conversing an awful lot trying to get him through his rough start. He told me that i was too caring. To me it said "i know how much you love me" I think that's what her statement said too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
