Motherly Wisdom #29: MAMA IS SUPERWOMAN!

Yes, MAMA IS SUPERWOMAN! She just doesn't wear her cape EVERYDAY! please....

WE do it all no matter what age. No matter what is going on in life, we are HANDLE IT ALL. I mean, (transparent again), I love my husband, and he is very good at a lot of things, but I'M THE ONE THAT ONLY PANICS WHEN A KIDS IS HURT. That other financial, bank accounts on E non-sense..No, I'll work it out. How? I go to God and He says what to do next. Truly. I have no other choice! Remember the closet post? okay.

So, with that, understand that MOM'S are SUPERWOMEN, and we're very sexy at it.
 As a mom, you can say what you want about me, but I will go SUPERMAN MEETS JOKER ON YOU ABOUT MY CHILDREN. I will also let you know that AS SUPERWOMAN, I'm backed up by my faith. (did you laugh yet?--good)

We find money for lunch where there was zero dollars. We create meals out of cardboard and fruit punch. WE save money when we don't have $5. SUPERWOMEN! When the kids fall from the swings, we are there in a MILLISECOND. When school calls, before they can hang up, WE'RE AT THE DOOR! 
I know I'm superwoman. I have 1000000000 resources to build a business, and take care of the BLOCK. 

Women, don't let them tell you that you aren't super! We know how to handle it. 

SUPERWOMAN!

Motherly Wisdom #21: I'm just the grandmother, not the mother.

I love my grand children. I do, but at the end of the day/weekend they go home. I'm not the one to come in and change how my daughter decides to raise her kids. 

{side bar: if she does them any wrong, she'll suffer the wrath of God through Mama; WATCH!}

My grandchildren are a blessing. I want to tell me daughter this or that to help keep them safe, and raise them right, but in all actuality, they are her children. Ladies, you have to realize you can't RE-RAISE your kids through your GRANDCHILDREN; you will develop a horrible relationship with your children (men or women). Understand that regardless of whatever you are the grandmother, not the mother.

Motherly Wisdom #17: Shake the Dust

If they see God but still refuse to act right, shake the DUST!

Moms, we don't have time for this back and forth. They either want to do what's RIGHT, or they don't. 

It's time out for all of this and time to SHAKE THE DUST. The dust shaking is not you leaving them in the dust, but you saying, I'm not going to keep BUSTING MY SELF OVER THE HEAD FOR YOU. 

As parents, we have to use the wisdom God gave us, and remember that if we continue to let people pull on us and drain us, we're not using wisdom; we're walking in emotion. 

Shaking the dust means, you are walking away from quick sand!

Motherly Wisdom #9: Your kids represent You

Your kids represent you so they should always look better than you. (Unless you are a millionaire) I'm so for real about this, you just don't understand. 

I was on welfare. I had limited funds, and children to try to raise. Child support was limited and I had to finish obtaining my Associates Degree in Police Science. 

There wasn't one time that I left my house and my children didn't look put together. I could have looked homeless, while they looked like they lived in a mansion and had a yacht. It didn't matter that I was in school and on welfare, my children deserved better. When you have kids out of wedlock, its bad enough you have limited choices, but the last thing you want is to have your babies at daycare being talked about. 

Yes, yes; I was one of those worried about what people thought, but, when it came to the kids it wasn't JUST THAT SIMPLE. If your kids look like they are being neglected in any way, child protective services would be knocking at your door. So, I never wanted that for them; I didn't mind looking like I was neglecting me FOR THEM! 

That is the way you have to be; those are the choices you need to make until you learn how to either bargain shop, or build wealth!
