A Tale Of Two Mothers

A Wives Tale

By Taya MoorePublished 5 years ago 3 min read

This story dates back centuries ago, remembering our ancestors and the trials and tribulations that they all had to endure. This story has no knowledge of a specific color, background, or person. This is a story about mothers and wives

Sometimes people would hear the word mother and think ; a woman who have had children and cooks and clean and do everything for her family. Right? I am creating this most fascinating story to explain the words mother and wife. Mother: is the female parent of a child, Mothers are women who inhabit or perform the role of bearing some relation to their children who may or may not be their biological offspring. Wife: a wife is a female partner in a continuing relationship.

Now that i have given you the books definition of both words, let's get the story going. The reason i call this story a tale of two mothers is because you have to be a mother to your children, and in some weird way also sometimes a mother to your husband. The husband will sometimes get in his moods to where it feels like he has motherly needs. But also keep in mind the mother is already a cook, a nurse, a psychiatrist, a dentist, a lawyer, a judge, the jury, a maid, a janitor, and sometimes the executioner depends on the circumstance. Did that last one make you LOL!!!!!.

Okay; back to the tale, have you ever just sit back and thought to yourself, hmm... When will my big break come? yea me too, but it always seem like there is no light at the end of the tunnel. Sometimes you have to stop and ask yourself questions about things you were taught and sometimes things you have seen. A word of mouth can make life seems as if life is going to be so easy and everybody will live happily ever after. When people start to realize that Mothers get tired , Wives get tired maybe we will get a bigger and longer holiday to ourselves other than Mothers Day.

I've also notice when i see the elderly mothers and wives, how brittle and fragile they look. And sometimes i look at myself and say: Is this my destiny? Is this how i will end up? I also ask myself questions now and try to motivate myself mentally to get up everyday and get active. Eat healthier. etc; But it's harder than i thought especially when your brain is programmed on the same routines day after day after day. I can be extremely motivated for at least one day and carry the determination out for maybe 3 days or so. Then boom!! out of nowhere comes the routine watching t.v. and eating ice cream and pork chops or something else unhealthy. Sounds a lot like depression huh? But it's not. It's called habit.

Habit: a settled or regular tendency pr practice, especially one that is hard to give up. I really understand how people these days confuse habits with depression. Sometimes the habits that you have can take a toll on your health, and send your brains all kinds of messed up signals therefore releasing neurotoxins telling your body that your sick or mentally unstabled.

Mothers and wives have a tendency of over doing everything sometimes. yes we all have had this dream of just living this perfect life, have the perfect children, So this is where the problems usually occurs, we try and live out the fantasy that we dream of. Even though we don't have the blue plan of our lives and homes but we try to create it. And in the process of us trying to create this dream, some things get destroyed in the path. Sometimes we can be our own worst enemy because we always Expect...

Expect: To look forward to; regard as likely to happen; anticipate the occurrence.

In some situations we worry about how people look at us. or how do people feel about us. or am i being talked about?, or am i small enough? or look at my stretch marks or cellulite. But realize it or not all of these things that you think negative about yourself forms a self hatred in YOU. You have to learn to accept yourself for who you are in order for someone else to accept you. How can you expect someone to like you if you don't like you?

The change starts with you and in you. always remember if someone doesn't like you for who you are, that person isn't for you. Don't beat yourself up mentally or physically to make someone else happy or to look for approval from society. Love yourself, stand up for yourself, motivate yourself and be proud of yourself. Do what makes you happy. Live, Laugh, Love because life isn't promised but death is guaranteed.
