What is Motherhood To You?

 What does Motherhood mean to you?

Well I am going through alot of transitions in my life now. You see I am a Mother of 6 kids.

3 Boys and 3 Girls.They are all grown now and off on their own so I am left having to be on my own and relizing that do I even know how to really be on my own? You see I have always been some ones Mom.

Taking the kids here and there and making sure everyone was at their certain destination or making sure all home work was done or battling their episodes of life where ever it was in each stage of each one of their lives.

I was never really known as my own person, I was always their Mother and never called by my name. I was referred to my kids names mom.

You know when we have kids we do every single thing we could do for them to make sure they have the best life ever. We as moms totally forget to do any thing for ourselves. It is always done for our children first.

So now that my kids are gone there are no messes to clean up, no responsibilitys to fullfill and all you have left when the kids are gone is you thinking to yourself now what?

I am now on a personal journey and discovery to find out who I am and what I want for my life as a mom with no kids under foot.

It is my new personal growth development that now I am going to learn about my own self and grow and rebuild from the inside out.

Have you ever felt so lost on where to really start?

Have you ever really thought about you as a person looking for your own identity that you never really had because you became what was needed for your children?

If you have experienced difficulties on learning who you are please share your thoughts.

Share your personal feelings on you as a mom compared to you as a Person.

Looking forward to hearing your feedback.

Awwwwwwwwwwwww!

I've been there. It can take some time to rewire your brain-but mom is hard wired intoyour DNA.

I have become mom to stray kids, cats and various and sundry other beings and have been quite surprised to find out that I'm more comfortable and at home wallowing around in the dirt coaxing my flowers to be their best.

I love making old things new and useful and talking on the phone to my grown-up daughter reminsicing about all the little quirky things she did "to me" when I was "Mommy".

Goodluck in your quest for you!

Thanks Joyce, but I am referring to the self in a mom, sure I could do all sorts of activities but its re-establishing the identity from being a mom into my own person.You know we are always a mom or someones wife or daughter or some form of a title women get but hardly are we just acknowldged as the person .thanks for your comment.

Hello Kathy. Wow! Hard to believe your children are all grown up now. Will you start over again with your new hubby?
