Personal Narrative: Being A Mom

Decent Essays
Well, a few years have passed since I last posted a blog on my site, and a lot has changed. I’m still sassy and have my hands in the cookie jar at every turn, but now I’m a Mom.

Being a Mom has changed me in ways that I never even thought about, let alone expected. I’ve actually become what I used to dread – a responsible adult. It’s not all that bad considering the trade-off is flippin awesome. Stella is only 8 months old at this writing, and reminds me moment by moment what real, deep down to the soles of my toes, real Love is. Her innocence and dependability of me to be there for her in all ways shakes the sh--- out of me sometimes, but I’m more than up to the task.

    Mom was small, a slight 110 pounds but through my eyes, she was large, even after my height surpassed hers. To this day, she would argue that she weighed only 100. Her strong presence claimed her space, and anyone else's that she cared to. Being right was of utmost importance to her, and she made sure always to have the last word. Overbearing, and overprotective of me, her only child, she usually controlled every situation, regardless of how trivial.…

This has strongly made an impact on my life and how I am perceived by my friends and others. My mother was very consistent with boundaries however; she was always open to discussion.

    Mom, It may not always seem like I care about the things you do or say, but I listen. I take it all in, the good and the bad. At times I feel as if I'm your punching bag, even though I know you don't mean it in that way. I take the punches without retaliating because maybe it's what you needed; to let out all the emotions that are bundled up. I guess listening is what I'm good at, but I struggle with replying at times.…

    The Single Parent Environment Throughout the United States, eleven-million children live in a single parent environment according to the United States Census in 2016 (Porter). Since the beginning of my life I had been raised in what can be considered a one-parent household, an absent father; only my mother with the support of my grandparents to raise me. Despite struggles common of single parents, such as financial issues and lack of parental resources my mother succeeded in juggling her education, her work, and her child. From my current perspective, through the creation of a nurturing environment I believe there was no need for a two parent environment, the one parent environment even benefited me. The absence of my father allowed for an…
