Motherhood comes with its ups and its down, but there’s honestly nothing more rewarding. Eight months ago I gave birth to my second child – a beautiful baby boy that we named Mason. He changes so much every day! There’s nothing that gives me more pleasure than raising him and watching him grow. If I had one teeny tiny complaint though, it would be that I wish he would stop saying, “This human form is limiting"

At 8 months he’s already crawling and eating finger food. The doctors even say he’s in the top 10% for intelligence in his age group! I’m more proud of him than I ever thought possible, and every day with him is a gift. Though, and it’s not a big deal, I’d really love if he would stop commenting on the “Frailness and transience” of human beings as a race. His words, not mine.

Don’t get me wrong, I love my son. He’s my absolute pride and joy. I have high hopes for his future! But am I a monster for wishing he wouldn’t stare into his baby monitor and laugh the deep throaty chortle of a 2,000 year old succubus while showing me the whites of his eyes? Truly, “Loving your child for who they are” isn’t always as easy as it sounds.

Once, I woke up in the middle of the night and decided to check on him. He was sitting up in his crib muttering in a language I couldn’t understand (thanks to eight years of Catholic school, I was able to make out a few words in Latin). Then, when he caught me watching him he exclaimed, “Human mother, I am glad you are here, I need milk from your breasts.” Just some of the curveballs parenthood throws at you, I guess!

I imagine that most mothers go through phases like this – I can’t be the only Mom who sometimes worries about her son’s unusually high interest in how long the human brain can survive without oxygen.

I mean, it’s normal not to share interests with your children – they truly are their own beings! For example, my oldest daughter Cassie is seven and she loves softball, but neither my husband nor I are athletic. So, I don’t think Mason’s sudden interest in writing his name in blood on the walls should bother me.

I’m probably just overreacting. My son is gifted, and that’s a blessing. Most children want video games or electronics for Christmas and Mason just asked for an adult ram. I think we’ve got a future veterinarian on our hands!

What about a child whose praise/pleasure doesn't work??? He really doesn't care. N matter how kind, in the moment he may like it but there is no way he'll do it again. His dad is a narc and has downloaded a lot of faults in him and desensitized him by spanking too often for stupid reasons. He only sees his dad maybe one weekend a month now, but he is so far gone. Acknowledging every little thing he does or half way does he immediately sees as ..ok I can do whatever I want for the next week…. he is nearly10 and every day with him is hard.

If I would often mention that my daughter actions make me happy or make me feel good, wouldn't it make her dependent and people pleasing ?

Thanks for this video!! It came at the right time….I was becoming more and more concerned with how I parent my three year old. I really want her to not have the issues I had and am dealing with now.

as far as the baseball reference I always told my daughter Great job as long as she swung and struck out and on the times she never swung I told her well you will get another chance and maybe we need to make sure you get more batting practice

I really wish that one day every high school would have a mandatory DBT class once a week for Sophmore and Juniors. I say those 2 grades due to the fact that alot of Seniors either drop out or they already have taken alot of the mandatory classes and its the last year so alot is already going on for them so this could actually help them Its really sad that from Kindergarten to Seniors we have all these classes that does not really help in our adult life example would be
P.E Which is intended to teach us about the effects of not eating healthy and getting excercise which I never recall any of my teachers discussing how excercise can lower depression and raise the chemicals in your brain that can help u out mentally cuz if this class actually worked why do we as a culture worry about Heart desiease caused by unheathy earing habits or why we even worry about obesity which in my opinion the studies are blown out of proportion either way this class does not do what it is intended to do. another one would be
Social Studies. which is intended to teach us about history, humanities, and if this class actually worked how much racism and adult/college/child Bullying would actually be happening?
its funny they will teach us needless information when we will only access it like 10% of the time. then they teach only 10% of the information the children really need or could be really helpful. I like DBT cuz it teaches how to control emotions, interpersonal relationships, what to do instead of using the blue print you were tought by your family. I came from a really messed up family I am 36 and just know finally able to see excately why I think or do what I do. and for alot of children this could actually be a turning point to where we are able to lower high school drop out rates, prison populations, murder rates, Domestic Violence, chemical dependancy, co-dependancy cuz DBT can help out with all of those issues to include depression.
Ok Just my Rant for the night love your work?
