Five Things Mothers Love to Hear
|
Summary:
Being a mom can often feel like a thankless job. Find out why some of the most simple words can mean so much to her. |
Details or Sample:
Whether she admits it or not, being your mom involved years of long hours with very little pay. The hours she spent being chauffeur, cook, maid, errand runner, and caregiver would get stressful and overwhelming, but she never complained. Your mother did those things because she loves you, and not because she has to. For her, the reward is feeling loved and knowing that she has done a good job at helping you become a happy and successful person. Often times, these simple words don‘t seem that important, but they indicate that she has achieved some of the most important goals in her life.
1- “I sound just like my mother!”
How many times has something slipped from your mouth and the source of the phrase hits you like a ton of bricks? When your mother hears these words, she feels a level of pride that cannot be reached any other way. She will know that even though it seemed like you never listened to a word she said, you have managed to commit those little tidbits to memory. Using those phrases later on proves to her that even the little things she said to you mattered and had value. Of course, it goes without saying that she probably remembers the look you gave her when she said it.

Asking for your mother’s opinion even though you have grown up and moved out tells her that she is still an important figure in your life. This can be on any topic and be as simple as what color to paint your bedroom or her thoughts on a life altering choice you are about to make. This doesn’t mean, however, that you are required to follow her advice. What is important to your mom is the fact that you see her as being knowledgeable and important.
3- “I’m sorry” or “I’m glad you said no”
Though it may not have seemed like it at the time, moms often feel guilty when they punish their child or uses the dreaded two-letter word. All moms want their child to be happy and have everything their heart desires, but this is also why they do the things they do. If she didn’t love you, what you did or thought wouldn’t matter to her. She has always done what she felt was best whether you agreed with her or not. When you say “I’m sorry” or “I’m glad you said no,” she realizes that you understand why she made the choices she did. It is important for your mom to know you don’t hold it against her
