My children own me nothing. Ever. Period. I own them, they do not owe me.

As a parent to adult children, exactly all of this! I want to be a choice, not an obligation. They choose to include me because they want me there.

This is exactly how my mom is. And guess what? She’s my best friend and I want to include her in everything. She expects nothing and gets so much

Same. My kids don't owe me anything and I don't expect anything. Yet, they talk to me about everything and include me in everything. I'm so grateful!

I had to work through expectations in therapy. Learning that we can’t have expectations of others has made my life easier.

I sent the video of you talking about your oldest son’s wedding to my husband, and I asked “how do we send this to your mom without sending it to her directly?” And he said “she’ll watch this and think she’s just like this mom. She will agree, and nod her head along with a false sense of pride even though she’s the exact opposite of this woman.” And that made me really sad for him. You’re an incredible mother, and I wish he had just an ounce of what you give to your children.

Sandra | MOTHERHOOD+MINISTRY✝️ :
This is the problem I have with my own mother.. she expects me to be so attentive to her when I have my own family to care for. If she expected less from me I would probably call more often..

You should start holding seminars the people who don’t get it are the parents who think their kids owe them.

Lisa :
It is so refreshing to hear someone else articulate the same philosophy and beliefs about parenting that I have held dearly. My children owe me nothing. And so every phone call, text, or visit is a gift. And it makes me so grateful to be a part of their life. I don’t care if I haven’t heard in three months, if someone calls and needs me, I am there. I made the decision that they would have to grow and become an adult and live in this world. Now they get to decide what that looks like. And when they need help, I am there. When they want me to share in their life, I am there. But it is a gift. It is never expected.

I’m a daughter whose mother has so many expectations and has my entire 46 years of life. I am a mother to a 18 year old and I refuse to put expectations on him. He’s still young and needs so guidance but he owes me nothing. His happiness is all I want for him.

Yeah, you’re the mother that people with overbearing and controlling parents wish they had. I guarantee your kids don’t wish they had a different mother. I think I’d rather listen to you than the noise those others come up with.

To be invited to witness to your adult child’s lives is such a privilege. 💕

“I WILL BE wherever you want me to be” 😭 my foster mother who has supported me thru adolescence, decided to go no contact with me because I did not feel comfortable with her in the room during the birth of my first son. My son turns 14 next week and I still have not recovered from her reaction. Thank you for posting this ❤️
