That day, my son and I fought.
After both of us cooled down, he came and apologised.
I gave myself some time, then sat down, scrapped the page, and wrote this message to him.


Journaling reads:
You always ask what it was like when I was at your age.
Was my homework as difficult or my school bag as heavy as yours?
I just realised that it might be your way of telling me to cut you some slack.
Yes, sometimes you forgot to send in your homework
and lost your belongings.
But you are young and I have made all the same mistakes before.
Thanks for reminding me that it helps to look through a child's eyes
to be a better mother. I love you!
