Moms... why do u cry over ur kids so easy?

Question

Why do u cry so easy when ur kid does something. im 18 and my mom cries so easy when I do something like leave for a few days, or for a better example, last thanks giving my work did thankful thing where we wrote what we were thankful and we all pined it on a cardboard tree for when people came in they could read it and my mom read mine and cried and made a copy and put it on the fridge. Mine said

"I am thankful for my two parents who raised me the best way a parent could, my two younger brothers who've brought laughter in my life, my boyfriend who taught me what loving another person was like, and for every person ive ever met because without them I wouldn’t be who I would today.

I mean that was months ago and whenever i try to take it off the fridge she yells at me. And I was watching kimora simmons show and when her 8 yr old daughter got her hair straightened she cried. Why

Answer 1

Like someone mentioned, it's a mother thing. Most mothers have a love for their children is beyond anything the kids could imagine.

Regarding what you wrote, your mom was obviously very moved by it. To her, it's something to cherish - her child validating that she is a good parent. As for keeping in on the fridge for so long ,,, for Mother's Day 2007, I took my 13-year-old son with me to pick out a flower for my mom. After I asked him which one he thought we should get for her, he said, "but what about you?"  I asked what did he mean. He said, "we have to get one for YOU."  

You could have knocked me over with a feather. My son just doesn't say things like that. His flower stayed in a vase in my kitchen for close to 9 months. I looked at it several times a day, every day. I finally let it go when my daughter brought home her flowers from her first winter formal.

I *still* tear up thinking about him saying "but what about you?"

Answer 2

i dont know really, i get teared up thinking about my daughters wedding day, which hasnt even happened yet! they are only 4 and 2! i just think about how beautiful they will be and how i want the whole day to be perfect for them.  

i tear up when i sing them happy birthday each year too.  its just another year that has seemed to fly by.

Answer 3

I think if one of my children (no matter how old they were) wrote such a beautiful thing and had it on display I would cry too!

Us parents are emotional creatures you know!  We have carried you in our wombs for a whole nine months, felt your first kick, given birth to you, checked over every tiny inch of your bodies to make sure you are perfect.  

We've watched you take your first steps, listened to your first words, watched you set off for your first day at school.  

As you've grown we have stepped back somewhat and marvelled at what a wonderful independant young person you are.

I'm sure your Mumma feels such love and pride, as all us Mummas do.  It's hard to control these emotions ...especially after reading such a heartfelt note on a cardboard tree.

It's a very hard thing to explain...but hopefully one day ...when you are a Mumma yourself, you will think back to this posting and say ...."Now I know why Mummas cry".

Answer 4

Well because nothing matters more in a mom's life than her children, no matter how old they are. Mine are grown but all those milestones are precious and a reminder that these days will never return. First day of school, first boyfriend, prom, first breakup ,learning to drive, leaving home.

Answer 5

Bringing another living, breathing human being into the world is a powerful thing.  And to see that you can do all these things you do on your own is just so amazing that it evokes an out pour of our emotions.  

Wow, your mom did an excellent job with you.  How wonderful it is to bring into the world such an expressive, brilliant human being, with an incredible capacity to show love.

Answer 6

I wish my mom was like that... you are lucky

Answer 7

moms and dads too (especially when you are daddy's little girl) don't see you as the grown child.  they see you as their little baby learning how to crawl or walk, crying when you fall and scraped your knee.  in their eyes you will always be their baby.

you will understand when you get older and have children of your own.

Answer 8

Do you ever say to her face, "Im very thankful for you raising me the best way you could, i love you so much mum."

No, i doubt it.

Its nice for her to have a reminder everyday, &when you try take it off, its like you dont feel that way anymore.

She probably cried whilst watching Kimora Simmons because the little girl was so happy! She is probably an emotional person as well.

xo Amber.

Answer 9

Its a mom thing. We see out children do things that touch our hearts and it makes us cry...h**l my daughter hasn't even started school yet and I cry just thinking about it. I cried when I dropped my nephew off to his first day kindergarten...let alone thinkin of what it'll be like when my oldest daughter starts. Our babies just grow up so fast and they aren't babies anymore,its sad to think about that,but its reality.

Like I said its a mom thing I guess....I also cried when both my daughters got their first hair cuts lol...yep

Answer 10

We're their babies...just think about it, we are them. most girls dream about being a mother (to an extent...) and we are their little dream... them seeing us grow up is like us watching them grow old...

Answer 11

I used to do that...three children ago, lol.  However, if one of them is sick, I get very worried and upset. That's when my hubby steps in.  Thank God for him.

Answer 12

because you love your child so, so much and to watch them grow, or to see how beautfiul they are makes you cry in happiness. Sometimes I cry to myself because I am so lucky to have my children and how happy God choose me.

Answer 13

When you become a parent you will understand!! its really weird - i know!! but once i became a parent - you always cry over your kids.  Be greatful you have wonderful parents that can cry, worry, appreciate everything you do!

Answer 14

I dont think there is any good way to answer that, unless you are a mother yourself.  Even being away from my son for a few days because I have to work makes me cry.  I think it also has to do with the fact that you and everyone else's children grow up so fast.    Again, it's a hard question to answer, and you'll know why we moms do it, when you are a mom someday.

Answer 15

She still remembers you as a baby, growing up, learning to walk. She cries at the passing of your youth, out of pride (like the fridge tree), happiness, loving you.

Answer 16

Mothers feel VERY happy when their children do something. No matter what age.... it not only makes us feel good about how we raised our child but how they have become. I'm a mother of two so I know that when my children accomplish something it's a huge deal. =)

Answer 17

Because a mother's love is more profound and more fierce than anything else in this world and sometimes we get so overwhelmed by it that only tears can offer relief.

It is the way to show extreme joy and extreme pain, both a constant part of parenthood.

No real way to explain this any more other than to tell you that I wondered about the very same thing until the moment my son was born and I looked at him for the first time.  I fell in absolute love with a "stranger" I had never seen before.  And somehow that love manages to grow every single day...

Simply stated, it's called motherhood !!!!

Answer 18

This  is a poem called Why Do Mother's Cry?

"Why are you crying?"  a little boy asked his mom.

"Because I'm a Mother,"  she told him.

"I don't understand,"  he said.

His mom just hugged him tightly and said,  "You never will!"

Later the boy asked his father why Mother seemed to cry for no reason.

"All mothers cry for no reason,"  was all his Dad could say.

The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why mothers cry.  So he finally put in a call to God.

When he got God on the phone the man asked,  "God, why do mothers cry so easily?"

God said,  "You see, when I made mothers, they had to be special.  I made their shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world, yet gentle enough to give comfort.  I gave them an inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that many times come from their children."

"I gave them a hardiness that allows them to keep going when everyone else gives up, and to take care of their families through sickness and fatigue without complaining."

"I gave them the sensitivity to love their children under all circumstances, even when their child has hurt them very badly.  This same sensitivity helps them to make a child's boo-boo feel better, and helps them share a teenagers anxieties and fears."

"I gave them a tear to shed.  It's theirs exclusively to use whenever it's needed.   It's their only weakness.  It's a tear for mankind."
