My Daughters' Words

I'm so glad you're my mom!

My daughters sometimes murmur these words.

They are such happy words to hear.

They usually say them when a matter they were consulting me about has reached a stopping point, expressing it like a thank you along with a sense of relief.

When they can't organize their own thoughts, when they aren't getting along with someone, or when they just want someone to listen to their complaints, they come to me saying, "Listen to this!"

Complaining to friends can sometimes lead to more trouble, so I always tell them that if it's something they can't tell their friends, I'll listen, so they can tell me anything!

When I listen, I listen like a classmate.
When they ask what they should do,
I think about it with them like an older sister. Also, if it's a family issue, I stand by them as a mother.

In that way, I subtly shift the image I hold of myself.

My daughters' complaints are not just about venting emotions; they often involve the other person's words and actions, their own thoughts on that, and the conflict arising from differences in values. They express their feelings and often ask for advice on how they should accept and process things.

The characteristic feature is that it doesn't end with just venting emotions!

What is the best thing to do?
How should I handle my feelings?
It feels like they are trying to find a compromise and organize their thoughts to calm themselves down.
It doesn't end with just blurting things out without facing them.


They often settle on a good balance for themselves, and we talk, discuss, and think things through together as if we are decoding the events.

Perhaps it feels like deepening their understanding.

They talk about their feelings. They get them accepted.
They listen to my opinion.
We think together about other perspectives and ways of looking at things.
Based on our discussion, they summarize their own feelings and thoughts.
They decide on a way of thinking that they are satisfied with and take action.
They can maintain a stable, authentic state and let the events pass.

It turned out okay!✨
I was fine!✨

Some feelings of unease can be processed immediately, while others take a little time.
It varies, but once the inner conflict ends,
they feel refreshed and start smiling!

Really, I'm so glad you're my mom!
How do you understand so much, Mom?
How do you know about so many things? You're amazing!
You don't say annoying things like other moms,
and you always tell me things that make sense.

Really, I'm so glad you're my mom!✨

Sometimes they say it as if they just remembered it.
It makes me so happy to know they find me reliable!♪☺️

From my eldest daughter and my second daughter,
I have received voices of surprise, joy, and praise from each of them✨

They are my adorable, mother-biased daughters☺️💕
