The more I love and nurture them, the more I realize what an awful mother I had. Am I holding onto resentment from the past or making a mistake to accept her gifts now? Conflicted MomYes, you are holding onto past resentment, and you may be making a mistake if you take the goodies without putting limits on their emotional cost. Something to consider: Pleasing your children and giving gifts to you, too, may be the most turnaround that your mother can do. Tip of the dayWatch that your past relationship with your mother doesn’t repeat with your kids and their grandmother.
