Getting to know me for me

Passing down

As I look further into my life and gather other insights on how life is throughout the generations. I often think, what am I passing down to my kids? Soon my kids will be adults and I don't want them to look back and not talk about how their childhood was, what they did, and what they learned from their parents. Would I be passing down on how to be patient, smart, kind, curious, loving, helping, religion, etc? Or am I passing down the negatives on being lazy, talk behind someone's back or be quick to act without thinking?

There are many things we pass down without even knowing. As an adult and a mother, I see what my mother sees. And knowing that I still do or say things from what my mother did and said. In a way it scares me how much I act like my mother. Not all was good. There are times I show the bad. I'm human. I will make mistakes, but when it comes to your kids-well that's one thing I don't want to mess up. No matter the feeling if you are even cut out for this parenthood life.
