The moment thinking my boy was going to die wasn’t an “it” moment for me or has not become one so far.
He could not have been more careful, it was not his fault.
I was hoping the story would make you think about the fact we can lose them and that our jobs as mothers can be about making them happy because when you stand there and you think they are about to leave you then suddenly what matters is whether or not it was all okay. Our criticism can hurt them the worst. Our smacks wound the deepest and our praise mean the most when they are little.
We might not be left as the star of an “it” moment yet we can fill in a lot of the between times for them.
Waiting until they’re in their 30’s might be more about your definition of “decent conversation”.
OUG you need to feel sorry for me, I over analyze everything I want to know the why of everything and everyone. It helps; when a child arrives I don’t have the luxury of a history with them. I need to watch and talk to them and get to know who they are in as short a time as possible.
It was never going to be good enough for me to hear of an “it” moment but why was it important, how did you get there. Imagine knowing what could create one of those moments for another?
There is no other site I would ask this question on; people would think I was some kind of stalker.
And I didn’t get a TB shot in my shoulder. :P
