What Did you Learn From you Mom?

Very difficult for me to answer as I had a very unhappy childhood with a mother who was very abusive. I learnt to be independent from th age of four or five and sometimes would be gone for half a day without her noticing. I learned to have a low self esteem. I learned never to depend on people- only myself I learned to regard myself as ugly - even though I was very pretty -childhood photos show this to be true. I learned not to trust people I learned to not make the same mistakes as she did and showed and told my children how much I loved them. And most of all- with help - I learned how to forgive her

I think the things I learned from my mom are more about what not to do. She wasn't a horrible mom I guess because i'm sure people can tell some horror stories. There are just things about her I don't like. I am more like my dad. He was more laid back and got along with everyone. He calmly talked to me if there was an issue and was able to work things out. He takes things in stride.

Ur....I never to think about it... Maybe i am still a young girl~~

my mother was a hard worker and never give up. she had past a hard time in her life but she still standing with her head. my father was cheating her, her sisters hate her but even they do bad things to her she still act nice to them and believe that someday they will act nice to her

I think it's my mom who needs to learn patience with children from me. LoL. Things I learned from her: 1) Never waste food. Take only what you can finish on your plate. 2) Clean up the mess after playing with the toys. 3) Learn to love books. And thank God my 5 year old is a bookworm.

i've learn cooking! though i'm not that good, at least i know how! :))

What I learn from my mother is how to be a mother and a friend. I am very fortunate of having both. My mother is my mother and a friend. I grew up being with her, clinging around her. I think I am very obedient with her and at the very young age I wake up with how our life is, we don't have a perfect life. Our family life is full of problems just like very family is. My mother do not give up on us. She didn't show us that she can't do it anymore, she is always strong. She show us the real color of our life, but she do what she can do so that our familu can survive and we did it. My mother is amazing, she listen, she cares, and she really show us tha we are important. That is what I plan to do for my future family.

It may not have been things of wonderfulism (my dictionary of words) But I have learned alot from my mother, such as, always love my children, never let a man come first! I have learned to listen to my kids and talk to them about things and let them know they can talk to me about anything. Teach them the things they need to know in life. My mother never talked to me or my sisters about anything! We couldn't turn to her for nothing and she never seem to find us of interest to her it was always the person she was with that she paid attention to. When I was 16 my mom dropped me off somewhere in town and told me to find a place to live, why because her husband at the time didn't like me. I learned I would never do that to my kids, which I don't think any loving mother would do that anyways.

I agree. This, at times is very tuff to do. What I learned from my dear mother was NEVER LIE. I have been instilling this in my children since the day they could undertand a question and respond to it. There are seroius consequences in our house if found lying.

i dont remember what i learn from my mother in my mind.maybe more hatred for her has coverd my eyes,so i could not see her good character.although she have treat me well and give happyness for me.but at the same time she hurt me deeply and change my mind for my life and influence my rest of my life,including my opinion of my marriage.if i have choice,i hope that mother treat me well and let me pass good childhood.it is my best normal will.

Hi dorannmwin, my papa is a die hard optimist. :) My basic nature is not so optimistic. So when he is able to make light of blues, I hopefully follow, and it actually goes that way! So I guess, that is one quality that I must say I learnt from him.

Don't get me wrong, I love my mother, but I think I have learned more from the things she didn't do in her life. * Take interest in life. My mom has always done everything for us, but she's never taken on a "interest" - like hobbies or even friends - so really I don't know what she enjoys doing in life. I want my kids to know that mom has interests and is a real person too. * Speak up. If someone does me or my family wrong, I'm going to voice it. I'm going to take action - and not bottle things up and cry in secret about it. Sure we have to bite our tongues sometimes, but my tongue can only tolerate so much. In otherwords, make use of my spine! * Marry someone I love. It's sad hearing all your life that your parents didn't marry for love - but for the convenience. I think it's important that our kids know that mom and dad love each other, as well as them.

I learned from my mom to be courteous and polite to elders. I learned from her to be respectful towards relatives, whatever their status in life is. I also learned from her to be generous, to give with my whole heart. I also learned from her to take care of my appearance and to always appear presentable to the public. I am still single. But someday, when I have my own kids, I plan to teach these values that I have learned from my mother. :-)

I have learned a lot of good things from my Mom. One of them is unconditional love. My mother loves me and my siblings a lot. Even my father. They both showered us with unconditional love. Just always giving and never expecting for something in return. Another thing that I have learned from my Mom and Dad is to love my brother and sister unconditionally. They thought us the value of giving importance to our family. Maybe it is because this is also a part of our culture. Family is of great improtance to us.

mostly i have learned from the mistakes she has made. i also learned that she is a good person and generous and so i am the same in many ways. but she is also very negative and very hard hearted at times and i do not want to be that way so i have worked very hard at not being like her in this respect. i also learned how to be a good parent as she was always taking good care of us and the home environment. she did what she had to do and i am the same way.

For me we both the same about the learning process even if I don't have children I apply it to my nice by doing that your happy despite of the attitude in our society. And we make bible study.

Be a good human being i have learned from my mother. Trust to people. And i have learned cooking also from my mother. I believe all my good things i have learned from my mother and also from my father.

My mom taught me to always be myself and never apologize for it. She'll be the first to say she doesn't have alot of ambition or self-esteem, and growing up, I saw how that lead to her being upset and not in control. From that, I learned that I was going to have to have those things to not be like that. That being said, she also "taught" me that I was a valuable individual. She really did give me what I need to survive growing up, and continues to to this day. Ok, for a "negative" I guess...would probably be my anger..well rage more like. She says its a bad thing that she was angry alot around me/at me, but I thank her for that because anger is a big reason I ever get anything done.

Many things I have been learned from my mom. I'm learned how fast I can work from how fast I can eat rice. I'm also learned family financial management, it's the best for our family too. I'm also learned how we must appreciate all of people, because there is a rotations of the world, so, we can rich, and we can poor too..

I have learned so much from my mom! She is honestly my best friend. She has taught me honesty, to always be true to myself, to help others in need, how to cook, and the list could go on. I can only hope to be a great mom like she is someday.
