Parenting Emotions - Passion

nell18-3 by nell18-3 Young Parent(March 2008) (rank 1st)

When you have children

You understand Passion of a completely different nature and intensity

This passion is all to do with the need to protect

Just like a Tigress with their cubs

thats the same Passion that most

of us parents identify with

The knowledge that you are prepared to ensure nothing hurts your child without you getting in the way



We all know the saying


“I can say what I like about my children, but don’t anyone else dare say it !! “


So many times I have sat telling someone about how the children have been absolute pains and wound me up something chronic, I’m looking for their understanding and their sympathy, if I get that then everything is fine, I’ve had my vent I can move along.....


IF HOWEVER


They dare to criticise my child ???????? How dare they????Who do they think they are having an opinion on my child?????? What do they know........??????
See what I mean PASSION !!!!!


There is absolutely nothing wrong with having this kind of Passion for our child. Its all about wanting the best for them. We want them to be strong, healthy, liked, respected, successful, happy etc.  Our passion for this is what motivates us to keep our child on the straight and narrow and try to train them to keep out of ALL trouble.
We recognise our passion kicking in when our child needs us. When they are ill, we are completely driven to get them the right medical attention and nursing, even a second opinion in extreme cases. Our drive is to get everything they need to be well again, we remain PASSIONATE about this until we get the answers and the help that we need.


Even in Sports events, we get Passionate about our child succeeding. We drive them to the events, we give them our own little pep talk, (even if it is totally different to what they are told by their team coaches LOL) We stand on the sidelines in all weathers cheering them on and doing celebratory dances as they win. Whilst occasionally also shouting at the Ref for mis judging our child !!!!! We are passionate about them winning and equally passionate about commiserating with them too.


We are driven by Passion to keep them away from all harmful substances, we read up on everything and look for signs that something is not right, we lecture them even when we have no reason to think they are involved in things they shouldn’t be. Our passion just wants them to be not dragged down.


We nag them about their school and homework, meeting deadlines and presenting the work well. We lap it up when they are coming home with certificates of achievement, put them in pride of place and brag about it to all who will listen. We are passionate that they are achieving the best that they can.

Our Passion for our child is what will drive us to guide them to be the best that they can be.

Re: Parenting Emotions - Passion

Picture Me......stamping my way into school to confront the mother of my son's friend, to let her know how angry I am that because she doesn't like, she won't let our boys play together out of school. I watched Zak get pushed out by this boys mother very slowly, to the point where her son wasn't allowed to invite Zak to the child's birthday, Zak was so upset and I told her so. I let her know that there is nothing I won't do for my child and I will not sit back and watch it happen and pretend everything is ok.......the school got quite a show that day.......lol.

Fantastic article by the way....

It is so true. It's hurtful to have someone else be negative about your child. Don't mess with mama!!

Well done Helen ..

I had to chuckle about other people and what they say about OUR children! ! ! If I chose to talk badly about them then that's my choice BUT if some-one else does it . . OMG- look out, there is nothing like a mum with PASSION ! ! !

Cheers Kellz

Re: Parenting Emotions - Passion

Spot on, I need my children to keep me going they are the reason for everything.  It's funny how even though my eldest can wind me up I still love him just the same, it's true what they say that a parent's love is unconditional.
