throwing someone a warm smile, a hug, or a com plement is a surefire way to make both the receiver and the giver feel good. These are all lessons I have learned over the years I have been practicing medicine, lessons I have tried to practice as well as preach on a daily basis. The bottom line is that we are all unique, but our needs are similar. Being proactive about all aspects of life can satisfy those needs and help us meet the needs of those we care about. And we don’t need special equipment or five-star menus to make this happen. Mothers on Motherhood . . . I wonder why nobody warns you how many diapers you’ll have to change in a single day. . . . The hardest thing about being a mother is making the right decisions and recognizing that the same set of rules have to be applied or enforced differently for different children. What works for one won’t necessarily work for the other because you are dealing with different personalities. You have to be a shrink. . . .You have to develop a really thick skin. They can criticize you, but God help you if you criticize them because then, of course, you are just being an unsupportive nag! . . . The hardest thing about being a mother is getting to take a shower without somebody needing something. . . . Try to stay sane while hugging, kissing, and nurturing a child that you are sure got switched with some one else’s child before you left the hospital because this child is so different from you he can’t possibly be the child you conceived! . . . You realize on a Tuesday that the only thing your picky eater will eat is macaroni and cheese and buy a year’s supply of same. On Wednesday, the same child tells you, “I hate macaroni and cheese!” On Thursday the local homeless shelter gets a year’s supply of macaroni and cheese. . . . One minute you are being told “I don’t need your help! You don’t know anything!” The next minute you hear “Mom, can you help me with my algebra (or social studies or science project or book report)?” Instantly, you are transformed from idiot to genius. .. . Children are like cats. Don’t look at me, don’t touch me, don’t talk to me. But be there when I need you! . . . One minute you want to scream at the top of your lungs because you are exhausted and frustrated; the next minute you are filled with joy and tenderness and all of the strength that comes from loving this creature who means everything to you and always will. . . . The most difficult thing is always trying to be a good role model, even when you feel like being a jerk. You can’t afford to lose it because they’re expecting you to be the strong one, the one who keeps it all together. . . . You read the same bedtime story night after night after night and smile because you remember your own mother did the same for you.
