To The Mom With Long Hair

To the mom with the long hair, leave it long. If length is your style don't change. If the kids think that you have a built in rope swing let them. They'll only pull on it for awhile. It will pass. Do not let go of the beauty that you desire. Being a mom doesn't mean that you can not BE YOU TIFUL. It means that you express yourself through your children. Alot of the times moms lose their identity to the demanding life of caring for their babies. Having kids and becoming mothers does not mean that you have to lose who you are. It means that you embrace the aspects that you love about yourself. Maybe your a class clown and funny as hell. Embrace it, strengthen it and leave the impression on your kids. Do not change who you are to fit the uptight mom stigma.

I've been asked continually, why with three kids, do I have my hair long? Why do I desire to grow it to my butt. I'll tell you, because my kids are not me. Yes, I've adopted the awesome roll of being Mama to three amazingly different boys but I don't have to give up who I am for them. We all know that life is an unexpected hassle but just because you have a babe or babes does NOT LIMIT you to a life secluded and standard. You can be the mom that stands out. The mom that isn't afraid to act her age. Sure having kids is a great way to mature but you do not have to claim that maturity 24/7. The is a line between strict and relaxed.

The stigma that runs along side being a mom is a downgrade to the word mom, The definition of mom is "One's mother" "Give birth to" or "One that cares for a child" Really? As moms are we really secluded to "Given birth to" How about "The fiercely strong woman who would give her life for the kids that she nurtured from womb to life" I'm sorry but we need more praise than that. I believe that the mom stigma ties in with the female notion that we are weak? One question for all, How are we weak when we are given so much strength to bring life into this world, to give up the lives that we knew to be a helpless babies world, because they could not survive without us, being a mom is rewarding, gruesome and underappreciated.

So I say again, to the MOM with long hair, don't change because the wotld wants you to. Don't cut your long hair to please others. Sure the pulling hurts, but not being you, for your babies breaks you down. Don't do it. Stay strong and let you. Be YOU.
