There were two promises I made to myself when I decided to
have kids and I felt justified in the decision. The first was I would make them
a gift to the world, and the second was I was going to change the world but I
must have thought I was impervious to fall into abusive or destructive patterns
because I created a future projection of myself where I would have perfect
patience and I knew what not to do and it was just that easy. I was not going
to fall into patterns even though I watch EVERY OTHER PARENT FALL INTO THE SAME
CRAP! Ya I was pretty special. I’m reminded of a couple times in life when
different friends of mine who were dads would look me straight in the eye as serious
as cancer and tell me “DO NOT HAVE KIDS!” guess what, if your thinking it’s ok
to have kids because you are special; WHATCH OUT IT’S A TRAP! First thing you
better realize is that you’re not special and you better know what it means to
stop patterns you already exist in- for starters.
I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself as ego in
seeing myself as special in a way that everything would fall into place and I
would not fall into any patterns like I seen in other parents or my own
parents.
I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to not
realize that the idea I had about myself with perfect patience was do to
patience I have when I don’t give a damn or I’m doing something easy with no
real challenge with no threat of messing up something important.
I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to go
into the “shut up” back chat of the mind that comes out at times in the
physical when I’m beeing asked by my daughter a bunch of questions or being
asked over and over for something I say no to because it’s actually me that
wants to shut up; I realize I’ve learned to shut up real well and I’m most
comfortable when I shut up.
I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself as fear
of my children coming to have the same kind of negative feeling from my
environment that I had in my life from other kids and my parents, teachers,
work mates and bosses as I’ve almost always felt helpless put down, beaten down.
This has bin my real starting point without being fully aware of it, not
creating responsible beings that can stand up for life but only kids that can
stick up for themselves.
I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to exist
in past memories of what I consider parenting mistakes instead of considering
what is best for all in every moment as breath. Mistakes like teaching my kids
how to fight as soon as they could walk without knowing how to teach them not
to fight which has caused some kids at school to get hurt, to not get my son
extra help with his speech yet, to having the tv on to often.
I commit myself to gain real patience by realizing when
frustration and anger take me away from awareness I do self foriveness and
bring myself back here as breath.
I commit myself to balance out fun and entertainment with responsibility in time, giving the children and myself a chance to learn to do things different in understanding my kids can not even understand why they act the way they do as they will need to be educated to the best they can understand on the way the mind works.
I commit myself to have proper conversations with my
children and not go into the pattern of being frustrated when I’m required to
speak.
I commit myself to make sure my starting point in parenting
is first to change self to become a resposible being that stands up for all
life equaly in that I can pass what I learn to my children through word and
example.
